108: The Wei Wuzu of Wei State were never meant to fight!

"How can it be as serious as rebellion, Father?" Xiao Qingyuan smiled obsequiously, "This is also for your safety. Think about it, if what I said is truly accomplished, and they are placed in the new city, even if a Foundation Establishment Stage Demon Beast comes, you'll be able to hold out longer, won't you?"

Xiao Yance rolled his eyes dramatically, his expression clearly saying, "Do you think I believe you?"

"Don't try that with me!" He waved his hand impatiently, "If this matter doesn't succeed, do I have to stay here forever? To be honest, what exactly do you want to do, you little rascal?"

However, Xiao Qingyuan quickly waved his hands upon hearing this and immediately started to speak vaguely:

"It's getting late now, and the guests will be arriving soon. How about we discuss this later? Don't worry, I'll definitely give you an explanation today!"

Xiao Qingyuan managed to pacify the fuming Xiao Yance with much persuasion.

Xiao Yance was busy, and he was busy too!

In three months, he hadn't been idle at all. Using his Spirit Eye, he had thoroughly scoured the star iron mine, inside and out.

Ensuring not a single trace was left.

Before, he had thought about secretly entering the mountains to find a Foundation Establishment Stage Demon Beast and borrow its hide for a while.

As a result, he easily discovered a second-tier Middle Stage Golden-Furred Monkey.

Xiao Qingyuan, as a Heavenly Foundation Establishment Cultivator and a master of Dual Cultivation in both body and magic,

Was not afraid at all.

With a Five Elements Talisman Array and a Frozen Handprint, he launched a sneak attack.

The result... he lost!

Yes, he lost!

And he was almost beaten by the monkey.

He was chased by the damn monkey.

He was mocked by the monkey.

He was furious!

Xiao Qingyuan was stunned. He felt he could take on two Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Imperial Family Guardians Wei Fawang with one hand.

Yet he couldn't even beat a monkey.

Was this right?

Fortunately, relying on his Five Elements Escape Technique, he didn't suffer any injuries.

And he hadn't even used his Innate Divine Ability.

Finally, he realized that although he practiced Dual Cultivation in both body and magic, he had only broken through to Foundation Establishment Body Refining by relying on his Innate talent.

He didn't have the various techniques of other Body Cultivators because he lacked a Foundation Establishment Realm Body Refining Cultivation Technique.

After all, his spirit bone didn't come with any awesome Divine Abilities.

The Frozen Handprint looked sharp, but its wind-up time was too long, for one thing. This thing's Foundation Establishment power was, at most, due to the Innate Divine Ability of his Spirit Eye.

In terms of importance in combat, it was not as good as directly using the Spirit Eye to ambush... or freeze people.

After all, the Spirit Eye's Divine Ability was both subtle and insidious, and it activated quickly. Even if others knew about it, they couldn't counter it.

It was truly impossible to guard against.

Although he estimated he could kite the monkey to death if he used all his means,

After much thought, he still decided to retreat first.

He was just afraid that the commotion of the battle would attract other Foundation Establishment Stage Demon Beasts.

After all, if Human Race encountered multiple Yao Beasts in the forest, they would definitely be ganged up on by the Yao Beasts.

After failing to acquire Talisman Materials,

He also failed to find a Foundation Establishment Early Stage Yao Beast.

So he could only return first.

He decided to use star iron to first forge himself a second-tier Magical Artifact sword.

He would also learn two Foundation Establishment Spells, and he needed to properly learn Sword Control Technique.

He would settle the score with that monkey next time.

Incidentally, he would also refine a Magical Artifact, or even a Magic Treasure, for his old man to carry.

As for him not having learned Artifact Refining?

Didn't he have all those cheats?

Not to mention, he still had a strand of Reincarnation power, a reward for the birth of his fourth daughter, Zhu'er, that he hadn't used yet.

As for the matter he asked his father to handle,

It wasn't actually that complicated, but it was genuinely difficult to implement.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have run away so quickly that day.

He had to use every possible method to allow the Xiao Clan Immortal Family to gain enough Luck power in the shortest amount of time, so that the edge of the Immortal Slaying Flying Dagger would manifest as soon as possible!

Therefore, Luck power was very important.

However, when actually implemented, it was fraught with difficulties.

Acquiring Luck power was not that simple.

Taking Imperial Dynasty Luck as an example, if an ordinary farmer could provide 1 unit of Luck to the Imperial Dynasty each year,

Then the minimum Luck provided by a martial artist would be 10.

Note!

This was the minimum Luck.

Innate Cultivators provided 100, Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters increased sequentially, and at the Heavenly Realm, it was around 1000 or even several thousands.

Looking at it this way, isn't the matter quite clear?

To acquire Luck, the most cost-effective and highest-value method was to cultivate loyal Innate martial artists.

This was also the reason why the Great Wei Kingdom valued the Wei Warriors.

Previously, Xiao Qingyuan didn't understand why the Wei Warriors were so useless; one hundred thousand Wei Warriors were equivalent to one Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and they most likely couldn't even defeat one.

Yet the Wei Kingdom was so dedicated, not hesitating to declare a slogan of establishing the nation through martial arts.

Wouldn't it be better to cultivate a few more Foundation Establishment Cultivators with that spare effort?

Even if the cultivation of Wei Warriors didn't require the resources used by Cultivators,

It still consumed a great deal of effort, didn't it?

However, when his grandfather, Xiao Tianheng, explained, he immediately understood.

—It was all a matter of Luck.

Because of their Luck Treasure, the Wei Kingdom was very powerful among neighboring countries, but it was always Cultivators who fought, and the army rarely went to the battlefield.

Therefore, the Great Wei Kingdom's purpose in establishing the Wei Warriors was never for fighting wars!

As long as the Great Wei Kingdom had these several million Wei Warriors, even if the Royal Family declined, they could still guarantee Golden Core combat power with the Luck Treasure, making the Great Wei Kingdom invincible.

Moreover, the more loyal the Wei Warriors were to the Royal Family, the more refined and pure the Imperial Dynasty Luck generated would be.

From every perspective, an army was far better than weak and ignorant common people.

Hence, the Wei Kingdom's treatment of its common people was quite ordinary.

As for a Luck Treasure of the slaying immortal gourd's caliber, to truly complete the first stage of Luck accumulation,

To attract the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation of treasure formation to temper itself and complete its transformation,

It required an enormous amount of Luck. Relying solely on the Xiao Clan Immortal Family, it would probably take until his seventh or eighth generation great-grandson.

Fortunately, he didn't need to completely finish it now. His first step was merely to protect himself.

Using the semi-finished slaying immortal gourd to contend against the Royal Family's methods would suffice.

But this also gave Xiao Qingyuan an immense headache.

Therefore, he had asked Xiao Yance to recruit a large number of people, to recruit frantically.

On one hand, using ordinary people to accumulate little by little.

The ultimate goal was actually to expand the Martial Guards.

That's why Xiao Yance asked him if he was planning a rebellion.

There was no other way. In Xiao Qingyuan's plan, the first stage required cultivating as many as one hundred thousand Martial Guards.

Ha!

Xiao Yance almost laughed in anger.

But he still used every means to help him recruit people.

Spoiling him, you see... Time slowly passed.

It was almost time for the Xiao Clan Immortal Family's Foundation Establishment banquet to begin.

Countless streams of light streaked across the horizon.

The patriarchs of the one hundred thirty-eight Xiao Clan Immortal Familys from Yanggu Prefecture arrived together. What was somewhat strange, however, was that these patriarchs all chose to meet up before attending the banquet.

And each person's face carried a solemn expression; some were full of apprehension, while others even had a trace of barely suppressed anger on their faces...
