Chapter 270: The Little Thing of Rebellion
Nowadays, the biggest portion of Lu Changjing's monthly income comes from Baiyao Valley. As a god-level force, Baiyao Valley's income is naturally far more than this, more than ten times that.

If it were also included, it would be a bit bullying as there is no comparability at all, so Lu Changjing listed Baiyao Valley separately.

But even if the income from Baiyao Valley was added, it was only over a thousand high-quality spirit stones per month, which was just enough for him to spend for one day of practice.

From this we can see how terrible Lu Changjing's consumption is. He can't afford it at all relying solely on the forces under his command.

However, all this is temporary. With the development of the power under his command and the discovery of more profitable industries and sectors, the income will continue to grow rapidly.

If the gunpowder business alone can be fully excavated, at least several thousand high-quality spirit stones can be obtained every month. There is also the business of the East Factory and the West Factory.

There are so many materials from monsters and demons, not to mention those above level 20, even those above level 10 can bring a lot of wealth if used properly.

The most important thing is to manage this huge force. Who knows when you will get a surprise and one or two magical tools. Many of the divine resources and treasures that Lu Changjing had obtained before were obtained by the forces under his command.

Soul Sensing Divine Liquid, True Soul Divine Pill, Dragon Blood Fruit...these are all good things.

Moreover, you can also obtain some valuable information and intelligence. As your power grows, you will be able to gain more and more benefits.

Therefore, Lu Changjing will not give up the management of his forces, but will increase investment in this area and develop it as quickly as possible so as to bring himself an endless stream of income.

After taking high-level elixirs and magic medicines for a period of time, Lu Changjing took out the Earth Source Pearl, ready to absorb this rare treasure to improve his lagging Qi Refining skills.

If nothing unexpected happens, this Earth Source Pearl should be able to help him break through his Qi Refining skills to the fourth-order god and demon level. By then, his Qi Refining skills will be able to catch up with his Body Refining skills.

After his spirit, energy and vitality were fully restored, Lu Changjing swallowed the Earth Source Pearl in one gulp and began to practice and improve himself.

The powerful force in the Earth Source Pearl soon came in endlessly. Lu Changjing quickly practiced the Emperor Extreme Shocking World Technique to absorb the power in the Earth Source Pearl.

The level of Qi Refining increased rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it also had the effect of tempering and improving the foundation. This was also the power of the Earth Source Pearl.

The earth is infinite and its foundation is solid. The Earth Source Pearl, as a rare treasure born from the depths of the earth, naturally has related effects.

Feeling his cultivation foundation becoming more and more solid, Lu Changjing nodded with satisfaction and soon became immersed in it.

Half an hour later, his Qi Refining cultivation reached the third level of perfection. After stabilizing himself for a while, Lu Changjing activated his copper skin and iron bones and began to break through the bottleneck.

"Boom boom boom..."

It is bold, fierce, and powerful, like thunder.

"Click..."

After only a short while of bombardment, a crack appeared on the bottleneck dam, and the attack was half successful.

Lu Changjing continued to mobilize more imperial divine energy and launched an attack on the bottleneck dam. After an unknown amount of time, accompanied by a series of crackling sounds, the bottleneck dam collapsed.

His Qi Refining skills also broke through to a new level, reaching the fourth-level god and demon, which is the mid-level god and demon level.

The most important thing is that under the effect of the Earth Source Pearl, the already extremely strong Qi Refining foundation has been greatly improved.

The quantity and quality of divine essence have also reached three times that of gods and demons of the same level. Taken together, it is nine times that of gods and demons of the same level, which is the same as the level of spiritual cultivation.

In addition to his physical cultivation, with the boost and blessing of his immortal physique, the strength and purity of his divine blood had long since reached three times that of gods and demons of the same level, and its comprehensive power was nine times that of them.

Therefore, Lu Changjing's current spirit, energy, and comprehensive power are nine times that of gods and demons of the same level, which is equivalent to an increase in the foundation by more than nine times.

This is the limit that the "big tree has deep roots" characteristic can reach. It is also because of this characteristic that Lu Changjing's cultivation foundation can grow so fast.

Of course, the foundation of cultivation can still be improved, but without the blessing of the deep roots of the tree, it will be much slower.

However, this characteristic may be able to continue to improve in the future, and by then the foundation of cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds.

The reason why geometric multiples are used as the standard is simple. For example, when the purity of the divine energy is increased by three times, the power of the combat skills and secret techniques displayed by the original divine energy will also be increased by three times.

Some combat skills and secret techniques that do not require a certain amount of divine energy can unleash their original power with only one-third of the original divine energy.

Therefore, when the purity increases three times, it basically means that the power increases three times, and the foundation also increases three times.

If the strength can be increased three times, it means that only one-ninth of the original divine energy can be used to exert the original power. Isn't this equivalent to increasing Lu Changjing's divine energy nine times?

So it’s three times three, a nine-fold increase.

Although it is not very accurate, in the cultivation world of China, warriors all calculate in this way.

The power and purity of Lu Changjing's spirit are three times that of gods and demons of the same level, so his overall foundation is nine times three times three of that of gods and demons of the same level, which is not a big problem.

Don’t think too much about it. There is still a lot of energy in the Earth Source Pearl, so continue to absorb and digest it.

By the time it was all digested, his Qi training had almost caught up with his body training.

You should know that Lu Changjing's physical cultivation had already reached the fourth-order god and demon level, but a soil source bead allowed him to catch up. You can imagine how powerful the treasure is.

Unfortunately, there are too few rare treasures. If there were enough rare treasures, it would only take a few years for him to cultivate to the top level of gods and demons, or even a higher level.

Feeling the sudden increase in his Qi Refining skills, Lu Changjing nodded with satisfaction. After consolidating and adapting, his Spirit Refining skills should also have a breakthrough.

There is still a lot of dragon essence in half of the dragon ball, which can all be used to improve the spiritual cultivation and enhance it.

More than half a month later, Lu Changjing began to challenge the bottleneck of spirit refining. Compared with the bottleneck of body refining and the bottleneck of qi refining, the difficulty of the bottleneck of spirit refining was a little lower, but he needed to be more careful to avoid damaging the sea of ​​soul.

After spending more than an hour, Lu Changjing's spiritual cultivation reached the fourth level of gods and demons. From then on, his spirit, energy and soul all entered the fourth level of gods and demons.

By the time the dragon essence in half of the dragon ball is completely digested, his essence, energy and spirit are basically synchronized, and he can be called a fully-fledged god and demon.

In terms of overall strength, it has more than doubled. Relying on various combat skills, secret techniques, characteristics, and artifacts... it has completely reached the level of high-level gods and demons, and it is not just an ordinary high-level god or demon.

What's more, Lu Changjing also has a half-mysterious body. If used properly, even the top-level gods and demons would find it difficult to take him down.

Feeling the surging power in his body, Lu Changjing nodded with satisfaction. With his current strength, if he went all out, he could probably destroy even a mountain with one strike.

A county town in front of him can be almost destroyed with one strike, which is enough to destroy a city.

With just a wave of his hands and a move, hundreds of tons of force are in motion. With the blessing of divine essence, divine soul, power of heaven and earth... he can easily burst out tens of thousands of tons of force, which is tens of millions of kilograms of force.

With such a terrifying force, one can imagine how destructive it is. If it is concentrated at one point, its power will far exceed any weapon in the previous life.

I don’t know if those high-level gods and demons can withstand his attack of tens of millions kilograms.

With a slight smile, Lu Changjing began to consolidate and adapt. What he didn't know was that because of the weakness shown by the Daning Dynasty during this period, many powerful and wealthy people had rebellious intentions.

They felt that it was because of Lu Changjing that the Daning Dynasty was invaded by surrounding countries, and even enemy officials entered the territory of Daning and became officials of Daning.

Although Daning also sent officials there, their number was far less than that of these dynasties and imperial dynasties, and it was clearly the bullied party.

Therefore, these powerful and wealthy people felt that Daning might be finished, so they began to secretly collude with these dynasties and imperial dynasties to prepare a way out for themselves.

However, they didn't know that these dynasties and emperors had been secretly controlled by Lu Changjing. Their every move was watched by Lu Changjing, who was just waiting for a suitable opportunity to close the net.

These idiots used to collude with demons and betray the people of Daning. Now that the demons and monsters have been almost cleared out, they have found opportunities to collude with the surrounding dynasties and imperial dynasties. They really have no bottom line.

Not only that, even some ambitious elements in the royal family were exposed, such as Prince An Ningding.

This person felt that Lu Changjing acted too recklessly, causing Daning to fall into such a disadvantage. Many surrounding borders were occupied by enemy officials and would be lost sooner or later.

He also offended a higher power, so he decided to replace it. He united with the previous peace-promoting forces, that is, the forces that had colluded with demons and monsters in the past.

The two sides hit it off immediately, and Lu Changjing also asked Jin Longyu, Zhao Jintian and others to cooperate. After planning for several months, they felt that they had enough power, so they decided to rebel.

For this purpose, Lu Changjing specially transferred a lot of troops from the 36 guards of the imperial city to facilitate their rebellion.

As expected, not long after the 36 guards of the imperial city were transferred away, Prince An Ningding led an army of tens of thousands of powerful and wealthy people and marched towards the imperial palace in a mighty force.

"Punish the tyrant, punish the unjust, and restore the country's prestige."

"If Ning Zhongyu hadn't gone astray, our Great Ning wouldn't have fallen into such an embarrassing situation. We are about to be swallowed up by the major dynasties and empires. We can't let him continue."

"Take down Ning Zhongyu, restore the national policy of peace talks, and make Daning whole again."

……

Lu Changjing didn't even bother to pay attention to the little incident happening outside. With his current cultivation and strength, it would be a waste of time and energy if he still took care of it personally.

Just leave it to other people to deal with. Before these rebels get close to the palace, they see a large number of Yulin Guards, Jinyi Guards, and Chief Constables from the Ministry of Justice rushing in from all directions... The Treasure Hunting Dragon Rat is sitting in secret to prevent any accidents.

As long as this treasure-hunting dragon rat is here, no matter how much trouble King An's men make, they can't cause any trouble.

The rebels led by Prince An thought they were sure to win this time, but they didn't know that in Lu Changjing's eyes, they were not even clowns, and were very boring and of very low value.

If it is a monster, not only can its resources and treasures be plundered, but it itself is also wealth. The monster-suppressing value and various monster materials can all be sold for a good price.

But people like King An are different. The materials on them are worthless, so we can only plunder their resources and treasures, which are relatively much less than those of monsters and demons.

Fortunately, they still have various industries that can make up for Lu Changjing’s losses in monster-suppressing value and materials.

At this moment, Lu Changjing was still practicing hard in the imperial study. His spirit, energy and vitality had almost adapted and consolidated, and it was time to continue improving.

Combat skills, secret techniques, secondary jobs… they cannot be given up. Oh, and now he is able to refine several kinds of low-level elixirs and has firmly stepped into the level of a low-level elixir master.

The shouting and killing outside continued, but what made Prince An rebel and despair was that no matter how hard they tried, even at the risk of their lives, they could not even get close to the palace, let alone go in and capture Ning Zhongyu.

The thirty-six guards of the imperial city hidden outside were like a solid wall of steel, preventing them from taking a single step beyond the line.

Some high-level masters and grand masters in the team were captured silently before they could even make a move. Some died, some were captured alive, and the rest basically could not cause much impact.

Seeing his companions falling like straw, the rebellious King An finally despaired. They were all captured. King An originally wanted to commit suicide, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. In the end, they were captured alive.

Lu Changjing didn't pay any attention to this group of rebels until they were all captured. It was only after his training came to an end that he came out to investigate and had someone deal with them properly.

Lu Changjing had wanted to kill those guys in the peace faction who were in collusion with demons and monsters before, but he didn't have the time, nor did he want to cause unrest in the court situation that had just been stabilized.

Now is a good opportunity to take advantage of to eliminate all those guys who colluded with demons and monsters in the past and harmed the human race.

At the same time, he could also get rid of a group of troublesome royal family members to prevent them from affecting Lu Changjing's plan.

A rebellion that was enough to devastate most dynasties was easily suppressed by Lu Changjing. He also eliminated some corrupt officials in the court and plundered a large amount of resources and treasures. It can be said that he killed many birds with one stone.

Lu Changjing basically didn't care about this matter. After the dust settled, he suddenly had an idea, which was to tell Ning Zhongyu and Ning Tianbao about this to see if he could lure them out.

Although I don't have much hope, it can be considered a try. Even if I don't have any plans to kill the two for the time being, after capturing them, they can serve as better shields for Lu Changjing, which is still of some use.

The news was quickly passed on to Ning Zhongyu and Ning Tianbao by Nie Sha and Cao Wenzhen. As expected, there was silence there and no one came out.

He just sent a message to them and asked them to handle it as they were still busy with their cultivation.

Speechless, Lu Changjing no longer paid attention to the matter and also began to practice.

What Lu Changjing didn't know was that although Ning Zhongyu and Ning Tianbao did not come out, after some consideration, Ning Zhongyu still quietly left Yangxing Palace for the third time on a sunny afternoon to see what the situation was.

As his younger brother was completely deposed, Ning Zhongyu showed more and more characteristics of a eunuch. His voice, skin, beard... all began to change, which made him more and more unwilling to see anyone.

At least he should wait until he has resolved this matter before meeting other people, otherwise it will be easy to be discovered that he is no longer a man.
