Chapter 482: The Excited Soldiers

Chapter 482: The Excited Soldiers

After exchanging greetings with Old Master Liu, Lie Ying replied, “I’ve just returned from the campaign. It’s boring to stay at home, so I thought of coming to see you. Why? Don’t you welcome me?”

“As a matter of fact, I don’t welcome you,” Liu Tianlu replied truthfully.

“Even if you don’t welcome me, I won’t leave.”

Hearing this, Liu Tianlu shook his head helplessly. “What was the outcome of this expedition?”

At this, Lie Ying raised his eyebrows. “Of course, when my Military War Duke Army sets out, we are invincible in battle! We defeated those monsters as easily as cutting vegetables.”

“No, why do you ask?” Lie Ying inquired.

“Just curious. What were the casualties?” Liu Tianlu asked again.

“About thirty percent… a little more,” Lie Ying sighed. The strength of the monsters they fought this time was not weak. If it hadn’t been for the gunpowder, the casualties would have reached fifty percent this time.

However, after this battle, their Military War Duke Army had very little gunpowder left.

Although Lie Ying said he had come here from his mansion, he had actually visited divine workshop earlier to buy more gunpowder.

But now everyone in the Great Qian needs this item, and the Emperor has long since arranged the distribution of gunpowder. Where could the Military War Duke Army get more?

So he wondered if he could get some from the Liu family, after all, the guy in front of him is the military god of the Great Qian.

Shouldn’t his need for gunpowder be less urgent?

Thinking about this, Lie Ying coughed and said, “Recently, there have been frequent Demon and Ghost troubles in the four domains of Great Qian, and the Military War Duke Army has been fighting continuously, suffering heavy losses.”

“Especially the gunpowder, there is not much left in the arsenal. I don’t know if your Divine Marquis Army has any left that you can spare for me?”

“Rest assured, I will buy it at a twenty percent higher price!”

Liu Tianlu shook his head. “The current demand for gunpowder exceeds the supply, and the Divine Marquis Army barely has enough.”

“Can’t spare any at all?” Lie Ying raised his eyebrows and asked.

“Absolutely not.” Liu Tianlu said firmly.

The two exchanged glances and Lie Ying reluctantly lowered his head, the result was also within his expectations.

Who doesn’t want this stuff?

It’s interesting to note that he used to scoff at gunpowder when all the great armies fought over it.

However, after tasting the sweetness of gunpowder, he became anxious at the thought of the army running out of gunpowder.

After all, this thing was equivalent to a soldier’s life.

How could he have imagined that such a strange thing would indirectly change the entire Great Qian Army’s style of warfare?

In the past, the soldiers had to sacrifice their lives in the face of these demons, but now, as long as there’s enough gunpowder, they can blow them to bits!

Lie Ying also greatly admired the person who invented gunpowder, but unfortunately, he still didn’t know who that person was.

“If you really need this item, I know someone who might have it.” Liu Tianlu suddenly remembered something.

“Are you talking about the old man? I just came back from there, that old man is stubborn, he won’t sell it at all.” Lie Ying spat.

Liu Tianlu shook his head, “I’m not talking about the old man, I’m talking about Qin Feng.”

“The boy from the Qin family?” Lie Ying showed a strange expression, “I know he’s the Jade Demon Slayer, but with his status, he shouldn’t be able to get gunpowder, right?”

As suggested by the elder, Emperor Ming had very strict control over the Great Qian’s gunpowder.

Not to mention the Jade Demon Slayer, even the Red Lotus Demon Slayer didn’t have the qualifications to purchase gunpowder.

“He has gunpowder, naturally not because of this, but because he was the one who invented gunpowder.”

Lie Ying’s eyes widened at this statement. How could he have imagined that the Qin family boy was not only a master of military strategy, but also possessed extraordinary abilities?

The gunpowder that benefited thousands of soldiers was actually invented by this boy?

If he had known this earlier, when he visited the Qin family, he would have insisted on taking the boy with him to serve as a staff officer in the Military War Duke Army. Regrets are useless now!

“In that case, I’ll go find the boy now!” Upon hearing this news, Lie Ying stood up hastily.

Just then, the gatekeeper of the Liu family came back to deliver a message: “Young Master, accompanied by Xing Sheng, has come to the mansion to discuss a matter.”

“The boy from the Qin Family is here? It just saved me a trip.” Lie Ying chuckled.

Liu Tianlu said, “Bring them in.”

Led by the gatekeeper, Qin Feng and Xing Sheng quickly arrived at the courtyard.

Upon seeing Liu Tianlu, Xing Sheng immediately approached excitedly, “General, the Great Qian soldiers are blessed. The young master has successfully fixed the shortcomings of the Martial Qi Control Art!”

With this statement, Old Master Liu and others were slightly stunned.

“Is this true?”

The soldiers of the Divine Marquis Army gathered on the parade ground, divided into two columns and standing neatly.

No one whispered, but they all speculated in their hearts. What was General Liu’s announcement this time?

Everyone looked at the stand, where besides General Liu, Old Master Liu and War Duke were also present.

The most captivating figure among the generals and soldiers was the handsome young man in black. They knew him as the Son-in-law of the Liu family – Qin Feng.

The last time he had come, he had brought gunpowder to the Divine Marquis’ army, bringing a glimmer of hope.

They wondered what surprises he would bring this time.

Liu Tianlu stood on the high platform, looked down at the soldiers, then gathered his strength and explained the reason for coming here.

After listening, the generals and soldiers of the Divine Marquis Army were all shocked.

The drawbacks of the Martial Qi Control Art had been solved, and Vigor Qi would no longer stagnate?

Xing Sheng has even learned and improved his cultivation?

Everyone looked excited and eager to try.

If Xing Sheng could practise the new Martial Qi Control Art and break through the cultivation bottleneck, then of course they could too!

And the soldiers who had been fighting outside for years understood one thing very well: the higher their strength, the greater their chances of survival in battle. No wonder they were so excited.

Seeing this, Liu Tianlu spoke again: “Even though Xing Sheng has mastered the new Martial Qi Control Art and has no problems with his cultivation, it does not mean that you are all the same.”

“Everyone’s understanding is different. If you are careless, the consequences could be unimaginable.”

“Therefore, I will first select some soldiers with higher cultivation levels. After they all learn it, they will lead all the soldiers to practise the new Martial Qi Control Art !”

Then Liu Tianlu pointed to several capable candidates who stepped forward one by one.

They looked at each other, their excitement evident in their expressions, and then they saw the young man in black leading Xing Sheng down from the high platform.

Qin Feng arrived at the widest wall of the training ground, his fingertips gathered with white inches, carving out the new method of circulating Vigor Qi in the Martial Qi Control Art. 

He addressed the selected soldiers and said, “Memorise the route of the Vigor Qi operation in your hearts. When you’re confident, continue your practice.”

More than ten soldiers nodded and looked earnestly at the drawings on the wall.

These people were quite strong and had good talents. In about half an hour, they had memorized the improved Martial Qi Control Art.

All the soldiers who were watching held their breaths and watched those people performing new Martial Qi Control Art, not daring to make a sound.

When those people reached the first point where the Vigor Qi in the Martial Qi Control Art would stagnate, everyone’s hearts were in their throats for fear of mishaps.

However, the next scene came as a huge surprise to everyone.

They had succeeded. At the first stagnation point, Vigor Qi flowed smoothly, without any sign of blockage or distortion!

“Is this even possible?” Lie Ying on the platform widened his eyes in excitement.
