My Cultivation Starting from Archery

Since it involves measuring what you can and cannot do, it's not good to take things from others for free anymore.

Chen Sansi asked about the price again.

"Brother Chen is so unwilling to take advantage of others, which further proves you are an honest man."

Bai Linxun didn't dwell on it anymore, "How about this, after the elixir pills inside are refined, you give me half, that way, I won't be at a loss. As for the 'Fu General Iron Armor' inside, which is First Rank Defensive Armor, I'll charge you two hundred spirit stones for it. We can just offset the cost later, how does that sound?"

Originally, he did indeed have the thought of having the other party owe him a favor for future moral leverage, but it was also not good to force it, otherwise, it would be counterproductive.

"No problem."

Chen Sansi agreed.

It was a common affair for the one commissioning the refinement of elixir pills to supply the raw materials; it was a pure trade that made one feel at ease.

"Brother Chen, until we meet again!"

Bai Linxun clasped his fists.

The two exchanged bows and took their leave.

After returning to Tianya Sea through the jade token, first, the little dummy sailed the ship across the foggy sea, and then he flew through the sky, heading back in the direction of Liangzhou.

On the way.

He had the chance to open the storage bag given by the other party and, after a careful look, couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

Is the Bai Family so wealthy?

Inside, just the raw materials for the True Martial Pills numbered near a hundred portions, the ingredients for Nourishing Essence Pills exceeded two hundred portions, and the materials for the Clear Spirit Pills were dozens in number, not to mention other First Rank pill recipe materials. It was truly a fortune.

No wonder so many people had their eyes on the Bai Family.

In the end.

There was the armor Bai Linxun mentioned—the Fu General Iron Armor.

This set of armor was ink-black throughout, made of Mixed Element Xuan Iron, with dense runes engraved on its surface, spanning the entire body. The hard metal and the intricately detailed and clever design combined to form an imposing and solemn aura. Beneath the helmet, there was also a fierce, murderous mask. The whole set of armor lay in the storage space, clearly brand new, yet exuding an ancient and heavy aura.

According to Bai Linxun.

This armor was specially crafted for Martial Artists, capable of accommodating True Power from any of the Five Elements, with defensive power comparable to a First Rank talisman.

It was indeed a substantial item.

Since leaving Lai State, Chen Sansi seldom wore armor anymore because ordinary armor offered limited use for High Realm Martial Artists; it could even hinder their agility. However, the armor from the Cultivation World wouldn't have this problem.

He gathered his thoughts and concentrated on flying.

This "procurement trip" turned out to be extraordinarily smooth, without any delay.

The round trip.

Just a little over a month.

Chen Sansi had returned to the territory of Liangzhou.

All military affairs, provisions, and so on, were being managed in an orderly fashion.

After Xu Wencai came back, it indeed saved him a lot of trouble.

Previously.

The vast majority of governmental and military matters required Chen Sansi to handle personally, which greatly affected his cultivation.

After tossing the little dummy back to the Governor Mansion, he went straight to the Central Army Tent.

It was the hour of 5 a.m to 7 a.m, with the sky slightly lit up.

Upon arriving at the military camp, Chen Sansi saw that Xu Wencai's tent still had candlelight burning, as if he had not slept all night.

He lifted the tent curtain.

"The Commander has returned."

Xu Wencai looked up from the pile of documents and petitions, then hurriedly stood up to salute, "I greet the Commander."

"What salute do you owe me?" Chen Sansi went straight to the point, "How have things been recently?"

"Everything is almost ready; we should be able to start the campaign in twenty days."

Xu Wencai pointed to the petitions on the table, reporting in detail, "With the Commander being busy, I have taken the liberty to make decisions on many matters on your behalf, but there are also key issues that I've marked. I hope you can personally review them when you have time.

"Additionally.

"An Immortal Master led by a eunuch came from King Jin Cao Huan's side, saying they want to reward the Commander."

"Reward me?" Chen Sansi paused, "Continue."

"It's a long story."

Xu Wencai invited the man in the white robe to sit down, then by the map, he said, "Ever since the Kings of Jin and Yan took General Fang hostage, they have started spreading rumors in the Southern, saying the current Emperor is dedicated to cultivating and had long intended to abdicate in favor of King Jin.

"So, Prince Qin assassinated King Jin and then took advantage of the Emperor's seclusion, unaware of the outside world, and along with the Yan Party, took control of the government, even intending to commit patricide and regicide.

"King Jin raised an army to rescue his father and purify the court.

"Not only that.

"They also imitated us in Beiliang, eradicating all Spiritual Grain wherever they went and proclaimed that Beiliang was not a rebel army, but under King Jin's command, loyal ministers of the Great Sheng Dynasty. Now, it can be said, 'the world's heart returns to Jin.'"

One should not underestimate the influence of the teachings of the Saint of the Confucian school on the world, nor the number of loyal ministers that the Sheng Dynasty had been nurturing for three hundred years under the whole sky.

Moreover, the matter of abdication, with the Emperor in seclusion, looked increasingly like a truth.

This rhetoric directly elevated King Jin to a figure of destiny, quickly garnering a vast amount of public support.

Not long ago.

Xu Wencai had talked about the grand strategy of a "ten-year plan", but that also required a full ten years to gradually deplete the fortunes of the Dasheng Dynasty in warfare.

But now, everything has just begun.

The fortunes of the Dasheng Dynasty have yet to fade.

Chen Sansi took a sip of tea from his cup, poured by Wolong Disciple Qi Cheng, and asked, "So, in your opinion, should I accept this reward or not?"

"There are pros and cons."

Xu Wencai continued, "The Commander is already a State Duke, and the only promotion beyond that is to become an Aliased King. The title of 'King' is not only useful for the Commander's future but also greatly aids the 'swift battle, swift decision' the Commander wishes for.
