My Cultivation Starting from Archery

```

It was after all a temporary solution, not a cure.

What was needed was a true furnace that could withstand the temperature of the Abnormal Fire.

"Well, I'll go to the military camp and buy a couple. That should suffice for a while."

Chen Sansi left the Luotian Mountain Range, taking the White Deer with him to avoid attracting attention, and called for Qian Xun to meet him.

Suddenly thinking of something, he took out a porcelain bottle filled with ointment: "Qian Xun, I have some good stuff here, do you want to try it?"

If the Poison Wolf could eat it without any problems, Qian Xun, presumably an Exotic Beast, should have no issues either.

Moreover, he wasn't forcing it. The White Swan Horse was intelligent and could decide for itself.

Qian Xun gave it a sniff and then began nodding its head furiously.

"You really want to eat it?"

Chen Sansi wasn't stingy and fed it two mouthfuls.

Surprisingly, after eating the ointment, the White Swan Horse showed a cheerful mood but did not exhibit an overly strong reaction, nor did it fall into an excessively excited state like ordinary animals. It seemed to be enjoying its favorite snack, nuzzling against its owner to indicate it wanted more.

"What kind of creature are you?"

Chen Sansi was amazed.

How could the White Swan Horse's tolerance be so strong?

Even after he ate, he needed to focus on his cultivation to assimilate. It was as if Qian Xun was completely unaffected, truly incomprehensible where Xiang Tingchun got such a horse from, defying all logic.

[Skill: Horse Control (Expert)]

[Progress: (459/500)]

Recently, he had ridden horses less often, so it was natural that his proficiency wouldn't surge like it did when he was escaping from Yunzhou.

"It would be great if you could talk."

Chen Sansi mounted the horse: "Let's go, home. You still want to eat? I don't have enough for myself, let alone you!"

Qian Xun seemed a bit sulky, and after being whipped a few times, it got moving obediently.

In fact, even after being tamed, the White Swan Horse often had its own little schemes, especially about food. If not satisfied, it would throw a tantrum.

Fortunately, it knew when it mattered, such as on the battlefield, where it would never cause any trouble.

This only further underscored the White Swan Horse's intelligence.

...

A few days later.

As usual, Chen Sansi went to the Military City to report for duty.

Last time, Yu Song mentioned there were leads on the Witch God Sect. He estimated there'd be news in the next few days, just unsure of where it would be hidden.

"Mr. Chen."

At the entrance, he encountered Tang Yingke sitting in a carriage.

Tang Yingke stopped the coachman and came down to greet him: "General, you no longer have to avoid me."

"Hmm."

Chen Sansi clearly understood, now that things had come to this point, there was no need to care about others' perceptions: "Thank you, Brother Tang, for your aid those two times."

"Please don't say such things, Mr. Chen!"

Tang Yingke bowed deeply, almost touching the ground: "General, you avenged me without fearing the Princely Heir; I have witnessed it all and will never forget it. On the other hand, I hesitated and failed to support you wholeheartedly earlier, which I deeply regret!"

"You overstate it. You and I are neither kin nor kind. Brother Tang, your risk in aiding me was already extraordinary. How could I repay kindness with malice?"

Chen Sansi looked at the carriage: "Brother Tang, are you leaving?"

"Exactly."

Tang Yingke gave a positive response: "To be frank, I've never been fond of practicing martial arts; my father has insisted, forcing me to undergo trials. Now that Selected Point has ended, and having been injured, my father has no reason to keep me in Liangzhou."

"The imperial examinations are imminent; I plan to rush back to the Capital City to participate, aspiring to make a career for myself one day as a civil servant."

"Oh?"

Chen Sansi encouraged him: "Then I'll congratulate you in advance, Brother Tang, on your name being emblazoned on the gold list, and experiencing the joy of 'riding triumphantly with the wind, watching all of the Chang'an flowers in a single day'."

The Great Sheng Dynasty's Capital City was not in the Northern Territory, but in the heart of the Central Plains, appropriately named Chang'an, aligning with the poem.

"What fine poetry!"

Tang Yingke exclaimed: "I've long heard that Mr. Chen was once a scholar like me, just that later on, you swapped the pen for the battlefield. To think you still have such poetic talent, perhaps you would have far outshone me had you continued."

"Brother Tang gives too much praise."

Chen Sansi bid farewell.

"Before parting, I have a few words of caution for Mr. Chen."
Your adventure continues at empire

Tang Yingke lowered his voice: "Mr. Chen, by killing Wen Qiushi and seizing the position of Champion Leader, True Disciple, neither the Princely Heir nor Yin Hanwen will give in willingly. They will certainly continue to cause trouble for you."

"Especially Cao Fan, who has advanced rapidly in his cultivation recently, and it is rumored that he has paid a huge price for it. It's unclear by what means he's achieved this."

Chen Sansi pondered.

It seemed there indeed was a reason for Cao Fan's sudden advancement, yet it was unknown what that price was.

"In addition, within the military, Mr. Chen, you must also be cautious."

Drawing upon his early exposure and connections, Tang Yingke shared: "The Reserve Camp's forces are composed of soldiers from the garrisons of three states, many of whom have connections within the court."

"The Main General has not yet been chosen, and with Vice General Sha Wenlong being from the Yin family and linked to the Gao Faction, there are others I haven't had time to check, but they certainly have some connections as well."

"With the Commander away, General Chen must be wary of them!"

"Should I be able to influence the court in the future, I will certainly assist the General in whatever way I can!"

"For now, farewell!"

As he spoke, he bowed deeply once more.

The actions Chen Sansi took in Liangzhou, forcefully killing Wen Qiushi on the stage, led him to a realization; to live and act with constant concern leads nowhere. To achieve success, one must move resolutely forward.

There is only one path in the world, the path of relentless progress.

"Goodbye!"

The two said their goodbyes.

"Vice General Sha..."

So far, Chen Sansi had yet to meet this person, but the Reserve Camp's Deputy General, temporarily in charge of everything, would at least be at Perfect Pulse Passage or the Profound Image Realm.
