Chapter 622: Zhang Daosheng's Resources
September 25, 2017
Lu HaiKong's sudden and powerful move disrupted Dong Zhuo's original plan.
Although Dong Zhuo had made efforts for his own plan, in the end, he still couldn't stop Lu HaiKong and even allowed him to take away the 30,000 elite troops from Qu Liang.
After this, on the one hand, Dong Zhuo paid attention to Lu HaiKong's situation, and on the other hand, after Lu HaiKong passed Qu Liang, Dong Zhuo began to plan his new, reluctant strategy.
In any case, Dong Zhuo and his men would never stand by and watch as Lu HaiKong single-handedly conquered Julu, and he couldn't bear to let go of the credit for this Yellow Turban achievement!
In this situation, Dong Zhuo's men found Gongsun Zan, who had been beaten up by the Yellow Turban Army as soon as he entered Julu. At that time, Gongsun Zan, who was pitifully hiding in Hejian, agreed without hesitation to cooperate with Dong Zhuo to capture Julu.
After reaching a cooperation, Dong Zhuo directly led his Xi Liang Cavalry to bypass Guangping and join forces with Gongsun Zan to take Julu while Lu HaiKong attacked Guangping!
This idea was good, and the execution was also high, but it was slightly regrettable that Lu HaiKong was even stronger than they had expected.
Lu HaiKong either didn't make a move, or when he did, he managed to conquer Guangping City in just one day. By the time Lu HaiKong captured Guangping and thoroughly wiped out the Yellow Turban Army within the city, Dong Zhuo hadn't even officially begun his attack on Julu.
Interestingly, when Lu HaiKong learned that Dong Zhuo wanted to attack Julu, he showed no reaction at all, as if he didn't know anything about it.
After taking Guangping, Lu HaiKong stayed in Guangping to recuperate, even after learning of Dong Zhuo's actions, he didn't rush to Julu.
Lu HaiKong was well aware that although the Yellow Turbans' military strength was strongest in Guangping, the most difficult city to conquer was undoubtedly Julu!
If Dong Zhuo and his men thought that after Lu HaiKong captured Guangping and defeated the Yellow Turban main force, they could take advantage and capture Julu to gain some benefits, they would certainly be in for a surprise.
Moreover, Lu HaiKong's powerful move had the intention of forcing Dong Zhuo and his men to join the battle. Now that Lu HaiKong had made his move, it was only natural for him to stand by and watch Dong Zhuo's performance.
In this situation, Lu HaiKong sent people to pay attention to the battle situation in Julu while dealing with his gains from this battle!
During this battle, Lu HaiKong's forces killed four historical Yellow Turban generals, Bo Cai, Peng Tuo, He Man, and He Yi. Among them, Bo Cai was a top-tier general who had led 90 troops, and the rest were all individuals with strength over 80.
These four individuals contributed a historical general's Soul Stone to Lu HaiKong, and they also dropped some items. Among the items dropped by these four individuals, Lu HaiKong only took a liking to three of them.
Heaven's Wrath Decree
Item Type: Consumable/Mysterious Item
Item Description: This is a special item created by Zhang Jiao using special materials and methods after understanding Bo Cai's general trait.
Item Effect: Can activate the general trait [Heaven's Wrath] once.
Usage Count: 1/1
Random Unit Recruitment Decree
Item Type: Special Item
Item Description: Needs to be used in the [Barracks Building]. After use, the barracks can obtain a random type of unit recruitment.
Usage Requirement: Barracks Building
In addition to these two items, there was also a [System Structure Upgrade Decree]. These three items were all good, especially the first one, which allowed Lu HaiKong to understand the terror of Bo Cai's general trait.
Heaven's Wrath (Unique): After activation, can teleport any combat unit within a 20-li range of the user's command to any location within a 20-li range of the user.
Cooldown Time: 30 days
When Lu HaiKong saw Bo Cai's general trait, his eyes lit up. Although the trait didn't seem as impressive as Zhang Liang's two traits, if used well, it could also be a general trait that could turn the tide of battle.
Therefore, when he saw this trait, Lu HaiKong couldn't help but pay attention to it. After all, Lu HaiKong hadn't used the [Soul Crystal] he obtained earlier, which could separate general traits.
However, there was no need to rush, as Lu HaiKong hadn't yet decided on a suitable candidate.
After noting down Bo Cai's general trait, Lu HaiKong took out and checked one by one the items he obtained from Zhang Daosheng and those found in the Guangping County Hall!
Zhang Daosheng was an extraordinary man. Although he was just an outsider, the gains Lu HaiKong obtained from him were enormous, even more than what he got from Zhang Liang.
This was easy to understand. After all, Zhang Daosheng was an outsider, and Lu HaiKong could open treasure chests and trade items using his resources and the outsider. Zhang Daosheng could do the same!
In fact, to some extent, Zhang Daosheng had even more advantages in terms of resources in this regard.
Lu HaiKong found three [System Structure Upgrade Decrees] and two [Large Legion Formation Decrees] from Zhang Daosheng alone.
In addition, there was a Special Legion Formation Decree.
Large Legion Formation Decree
Item Type: Military Item
Usage Requirements: 5,000 soldiers, 3 warlords
Item Description: An ordinary legion formation decree, with a certain chance of obtaining a legion trait after use.
Special Legion Formation Decree
Item Type: Military Item
Usage Requirements: 1,000 soldiers (Martial: 50 or above), 1 warlord (Martial: 90 or above)
Item Description: A special decree that guarantees a 100% chance of obtaining a legion trait.
The Large Legion Formation Decree is good, but the Special Legion Formation Decree is exceptional. Just the usage requirements alone are incredibly demanding. Even someone as powerful as Lu HaiKong might struggle to meet the prerequisites for this decree at this moment. This truly showcases the rarity and value of this item.
In the 1691st chapter, the book clearly states this.
The items obtained from Zhang Daosheng alone are already quite impressive. What surprised Lu HaiKong was that these were only a portion of Zhang Daosheng's possessions.
This is actually quite understandable. After all, Zhang Daosheng is an Other, and a high-ranking one at that, with significant influence. It's normal for him to have such a deep background. If someone were to defeat Lu HaiKong now, they would undoubtedly obtain far more than what Lu HaiKong gained from defeating Zhang Daosheng.
Aside from these items, Lu HaiKong also acquired a very interesting item from Zhang Daosheng.
Simplified Heavenly Craftsmanship Repair Decree
Item Type: Consumable/Mysterious Item
Item Description: A simplified version of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Repair Decree, capable of repairing buildings.
Item Effect: Instantly repairs damaged buildings.
This is clearly the item Zhang Daosheng intended to use after his city was breached by Lu HaiKong's top-tier automaton. In hindsight, if Lu HaiKong hadn't been cautious and left some room for maneuver, capturing Guangping might not have been so straightforward.
Aside from these items, most of Zhang Daosheng's remaining possessions were various secret manuals.
It seems that Zhang Daosheng deliberately collected secret manuals on Fa and Daoist heart methods. Lu HaiKong found over ten such manuals just from Zhang Daosheng's possessions.
However, collecting these secret manuals doesn't appear to be an easy task. Lu HaiKong noticed that most of Zhang Daosheng's collection consisted of basic manuals, with only one or two advanced ones.
After skimming through these manuals, Lu HaiKong realized that the prerequisites for cultivation were quite high. Very few of his subordinates could meet the requirements, so after a quick glance, he put them all away, intending to establish a special department for cultivating Daoists after returning to Bingzhou.
However, Lu HaiKong kept a manual on wood-attribute Fa called "Wooden Prison." This manual was just right for Chen Ping's cultivation, so Lu HaiKong gave it to him.
Lu HaiKong also specifically flipped through the "Wooden Prison" manual, but despite his extraordinary talent in martial arts, his talent in Fa was quite average. He recognized every character in the book, but when they were put together, he found himself completely lost and confused.
Lu HaiKong was a bit disappointed by this. Deep down, he had a certain admiration for Daoist arts and even harbored thoughts of dual cultivation in both martial and Daoist arts.
However, these thoughts could only remain as thoughts. Lu HaiKong was not a carefree wanderer; he was a powerful figure with numerous responsibilities. He simply didn't have the time to pursue dual cultivation in both martial and Daoist arts, and such thoughts could only exist in his dreams.
Lu HaiKong called Chen Ping, casually tossed the "Wooden Prison" manual to him, and asked him to carefully record the contributions of the four historical warlords and Zhang Daosheng.
As Lu HaiKong's wealth grew, Chen Ping's responsibilities as his secretary expanded beyond daily tasks to include accounting work. He was now tasked with keeping track of Lu HaiKong's inventory of items.
There was no other choice. As Lu HaiKong's strength increased, so did the number of items in his possession. Many items were left unused for years after being opened, and Lu HaiKong himself almost forgot about some of them.
Moreover, with the addition of the Others, Lu HaiKong's sources of items were no longer limited to his own monster-slaying and treasure chest-opening. Many items came from the Others, which Lu HaiKong might easily overlook if he didn't personally handle them.
Therefore, Lu HaiKong assigned Chen Ping to manage this aspect, meticulously recording and creating an inventory of the items in Lu HaiKong's possession, ensuring that Lu HaiKong always had a clear understanding of his resources.
After all, while items could be used by subordinates, it was crucial for Lu HaiKong to personally decide when and where to utilize them. How could he make such decisions without a clear understanding of his inventory?
Chen Ping quickly compiled a list: four System Structure Upgrade Decrees, two Large Legion Formation Decrees, one Special Legion Formation Decree, one Heaven's Wrath Decree, one Random Unit Recruitment Decree, and one Simplified Heavenly Craftsmanship Repair Decree.
