Chapter 799: Chapter 9: Three Thousand Martial Artists, As If the Emperor Himself Arrived Under these circumstances, he can survive for at most ten more years. “There’s no need to be discouraged, Senior. There is always a solution.” Li Fei consoled him, “Ten years from now, I might have a way to solve your predicament.” If anyone else had said this, True Master Qing Ding would have scoffed. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs noᴠelfire.net If the issue of a remaining True Soul could be fundamentally resolved, the Buddhist and Taoist families would have already figured it out. Given their profound foundations and strength, the fact that they have not yet solved this dilemma means it can’t be something that one person can fix? But the one saying this is Li Fei, the greatest hero in history! True Master Qing Ding is willing to hold onto a glimmer of hope for him. “Alright, then I shall count on you.” True Master Qing Ding chuckled, “I won’t ‘stay’ here for free. When you refine a new Magic Implant, I can help you with the refining process.” Previously, Li Fei’s True Spirit alone refined the Implant within his body. Now, having True Master Qing Ding is like gaining an assistant, making it far more efficient! Li Fei left his True Spirit to continue chatting with True Master Qing Ding, learning magic and alchemy from him. The True Spirit is akin to his second consciousness, enabling him to multitask. Having the True Spirit learn alchemy with True Master Qing Ding is undoubtedly the best choice. Walking out from the main hall, Li Fei headed towards the Martial Arts Training Ground. Two martial artists were sparring there, one wielding a saber, the other a sword. Upon seeing Li Fei, they hurriedly stopped and saluted him: “Greetings to Marquis.” Li Fei nodded. “How is your cultivation progressing?” The man wielding the saber replied, “With the assistance of Marquis and the Spirit Heart Pill bestowed upon me, I’m confident I can achieve ‘Unity’ by next month!” The other named Su Jia, also chimed in, “I too, will certainly achieve ‘Unity’ next month!” These two, the saber-wielder’s name is Miao Yangxia and the sword-wielder’s name is Su Jia, are both Martial Artists at the Qi Change Peak. Previously, they were Jianghu Wanderers from Feng Province. Upon hearing of Li Fei’s recruitment in Xing City, they both came, hoping to join Marquis Jing’an Mansion. After helping Xu Xiaotian break through to become a Dao Foundation Stage Martial Artist, Li Fei had Xing City send over two martial artists who met the ‘Hundred-Day Breakthrough Method’ requirements. Thus Miao Yangxia and Su Jia arrived in Lanling City. After secretly checking their subconscious with the ‘Dream Realm Technique’ to ensure neither was a spy sent by someone else and found no character issues, Li Fei began assisting them in breaking through, and rewarded them with the Spirit Heart Pill he obtained. After more than two months of intensive training, both are now just a step away from breaking through to the Tao Foundation Stage! Soon, Li Fei will have two more Dao Foundation Stage experts under his command. “I plan to head to the Northern Territory next to participate in the battle there. Would you be willing to accompany me?” Li Fei asked straightforwardly. Without a moment of hesitation, the two replied, clasping their fists: “We swear to follow Marquis to the death!” Li Fei decided to take these two to the Northern Territory because they practiced Tao Foundation types that are more suited for growth through life-and-death battles, so he wanted to bring them to hone their skills. If they survive and return from the Northern Territory, he will have two more experts capable of standing alone. As for Xu Xiaotian, who has already broken through, Li Fei has arranged for him to return to Datong Prefecture. That region is in a period of rapid development and urgently needs experts at the Tao Foundation Stage to oversee it. “Alright, go get ready. We’ll be departing soon.” Li Fei instructed the two. The departure was even earlier than Li Fei anticipated. On May 28th, the day after meeting the Emperor, Li Fei received an Imperial Decree, commanding him to immediately head to the Northern Territory! Thus, Li Fei, accompanied by Miao Yangxia and Su Jia, went to the train station. “Marquis, take care along the way. I’ll wait for your safe return!” Outside the station, Lv Wenxing said to Li Fei. Li Fei didn’t take him along on this trip to the Northern Territory. He had actually volunteered, but Li Fei refused him. Li Fei thought that although Lv Wenxing is a Dao Foundation Stage Martial Artist, he had long lost the sharpness and potential needed for further realm cultivation. Someone like him is more suitable to manage the rear than to charge onto the battlefield. “Alright, keep in touch if anything comes up.” Li Fei patted Lv Wenxing’s shoulder. Just as he was about to turn to enter the station, he suddenly felt something and looked in a certain direction. There stood a car parked on the street in the distance, beside which was a woman of ordinary looks and figure. Li Fei immediately recognized her as ‘Little Flower,’ the one who always accompanied the Third Prince. This woman, whose appearance and name are plain, is a Martial Arts Master! Her arrival indicated that the Third Prince was also here. “Wait for me here, I’ll go meet someone.” Li Fei said to Lv Wenxing and the others, then turned toward Little Flower. Upon reaching her, Little Flower nodded to him and actively opened the car’s rear door for him. Inside the car, dressed casually and holding a folding fan, the Third Prince smiled at Li Fei. Li Fei got into the car. “Congratulations on being appointed Supervisor of the Expeditionary Army, commanding three thousand Blue Patrol Pavilion Martial Artists.” The Third Prince said, smiling. This matter is still a top secret within the Military Affairs Office, yet he casually spoke of it, showcasing his influence once again. Li Fei wasn’t surprised by this, given the Third Prince’s intelligence network was unmatched in the world: “With the opportunity given by my father, are you planning to first try at the Northern Territory? If you manage to establish significant military merits and lay a foundation in the army, there’s no need to ally with me?”
