Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, there was only one month left before the opening of the secret realm of the soldier master, and Xingchen held a high-level meeting of the whole regiment before leaving.

Other participants in the conference:

Yi Yun, deputy head of the Shengfeng Mercenary Regiment, Yi Lei, head of the Armed Forces Department, Zhang Cheng, the new head of the Ranger Department, Shi Ye, director of the Logistics Department, and Su Ziyan, director of the Confidential Department;

Liu Qingzhu, Dean of the Affiliated Shengfeng College;

Yi Liantian, the head of the attached Thundercloud Mercenary Group, and a senior executive;

He Kang, the head of the attached Fire Wolf Mercenary Group, and a senior executive.

Xingchen looked around at the many high-level officials and said, "Before I leave, I want to hear about your achievements in the past two years. ”

A group of high-level officials began to report, but Xingchen mainly paid attention to the results of his reforms after his return. The first one is the pill workshop and the arsenal that Shi Ye is in charge of. Shi Ye recruited the alchemy elders of the original Mo Wen Sect, established the Pill Workshop, and relied on the three pills of Secret Gold Creation Medicine, Stunt Continuation Glue, and Xiao Huan Dan to open the market, and the current profit is comparable to the sum of the remuneration received by the Armed Forces Department and the Ranger Department for their missions, but it has offended many large and small forces that operate the pill business. As for the weapon shop, because of Shiye's many practical inventions, it has begun to make a profit, but it is not very profitable.

Hearing this, Xingchen said, "Senior Shiye, after I leave, you will immediately contact the other pill shops, and we are willing to sell them the two pills of the secret gold creation medicine and the stunt tendon renewal cream at cost price." ”

Shi Ye was a little puzzled, "Commander, this will have an impact on our business." ”

Xingchen smiled: "Leave a way for others to live, so they won't embarrass us." Shi Ye was still trying to say something, and a voice came into his ears, "Senior Shi Ye, the cost of refining pills is only known to us. Do you see what I mean?"

Shi Ye gave up his hand, "My subordinates understand." ”

Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief, Shi Ye was a genius at smelting weapons, but he didn't understand business. Soon, the second reform he paid attention to, Snow Swallow Valley, where the Fire Wolf Mercenary Group was stationed, had been clearly reported.

Now the Fire Wolf Mercenary Group only has one income, that is, mercenary missions, but it is also beyond their means. The mercenary group itself has to operate, and it also raises a big money eater, Snow Swallow Valley: five high-paid wild snow swallow breeders, as well as the expensive expenses related to cultivating wild snow swallows, need relief from the Holy Wind Mercenary Group every month, and even then, they are not allowed to pick snow swallow nests and sell them for money, and this situation may continue for seven or eight years. So when He Kang was talking, there was a little bitterness in his tone.

After listening to this, Xingchen said: "The external wild snow swallow breeders do pay a high salary. So, I'm going to recruit a breeder right now to help ease your load. ”

When He Kang heard this, he immediately smiled bitterly, "Leader, where are you helping me reduce my burden, there is one less breeder, if you want to successfully breed at least 3,000 wild snow swifts, you may have to wait for two or three more years." ”

Xingchen said with a smile: "The recruited breeders will be arranged in the Holy Wind Academy, responsible for a wild snow swallow breeding course, we train the breeders ourselves, within three or five years, there will be more low-paid internally hired breeders to work with you, what are you worried about?"

When He Kang heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, "It's still arranged by the head of the regiment." He said with a hint of concern, "However, this kind of self-defeating job is not necessarily willing to be done by those external breeders." ”

Xingchen smiled and said: "This is simple, we only recruit one teacher, and we are willing to come with a salary increase of 20%, and sign a lifetime employment contract." When the first batch of trainees appears, the remaining four external breeders who are willing to stay and sign a long-term employment contract can be promoted to captain, but the salary remains the same. ”

When He Kang heard this, he immediately praised: "What the head of the regiment thinks is thoughtful. This way we can recruit the best of the five, and we don't have to centrifuge the other breeders. After all, whether you are a coach or a captain, the job will be much easier, and I am sure they will definitely accept it. ”

Xingchen smiled and said, "This is not my idea, it is a suggestion made by my deputy head Yi Yun. ”

After hearing this, He Kang bowed to Yi Yun, "Brother Yi Yun, thank you." ”

Yi Yun bowed his hand in return, "I also made this suggestion for the purpose of building the Holy Wind Academy, Brother He Kang, you don't have to thank me." ”

He Kang suddenly sighed: "It turned out to be for the daughter-in-law, when are you going to get married?" and the high-level laughed.

Liu Qingzhu, that is, Xiaozhu, blushed directly.

After laughing for a while, Xingchen beckoned, "Okay, everyone be quiet." As he spoke, he looked at Xiaozhu, "Sister Xiaozhu, it just so happened that you came to talk about the situation of the Holy Wind Academy." ”

Xiao Zhu took a deep breath and stood up, "At present, there are seventy-eight apprentices in the Holy Wind Academy, and five are taught. Apprentices are basically the children of mercenary members, and they almost can't recruit children with mid-grade or higher qualifications. ”

Xingchen sighed, "This is already good, we want to continue to develop, unless our Holy Wind Mercenary Regiment is strong enough." Sister Xiaozhu, I have wronged you. ”

Xiaozhu shook his head, "It's okay, I just want to do something for the Holy Wind Mercenary Group." ”

Xingchen pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "Three days later, a small competition will be held at the Holy Wind Academy. The final reward is a bloodline evolution pill, the contestant cannot be more than ten years old, and the children of the four major families are invited to participate together, and a notice will be posted immediately. ”

Yi Yun stood up and arched his hand: "Leader, isn't this decision too hasty, the Bloodline Evolution Pill is a priceless treasure." ”

A group of high-level officials also stood up, bowed their hands, and said in unison: "Please think twice, the head of the regiment." ”

Xingchen said, "The Bloodline Evolution Pill is indeed a priceless treasure, but it can only benefit one person. But using it, you can let the entire Fusu City know about the Holy Wind Academy. In the long run, this move will benefit the entire Windwind Mercenary Regiment and benefit you. ”

In this regard, Yi Yun arched his hand and said: "The head of the regiment has a long-term vision, and his subordinates agree with the decision of the head of the regiment. Since the head of the regiment has decided to make a name for himself, he will do it thoroughly, and the qualifications of the contestants will be open to the entire Fusu City, and they can participate if they meet the standards. Mobilize the whole group to spread the news of the competition widely, and ask Dean Zhuge to do justice and preserve the bloodline evolution pill. Choosing the venue for the game at Zidu Square is expensive, but it's definitely worth it. ”

Hearing Yi Yun's words, Xingchen couldn't help but praise: "Yi Yun, you think very well. ”

The entire mercenary group operates to spread the word of the match.

The news quickly reached the ears of the old ancestor of the Liu family, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "It turns out that the other bloodline evolution pill that the Holy Medicine Master gave to Xingchen is in Zhuge Yu's hands, and he even took it out as a reward for the open competition. That's my Liu family's thing. ”

The well-dressed maiden attendant on the side said, "I heard that this is Lu Xingchen's idea, and the organizer is the Holy Wind Mercenary Regiment. ”

The old ancestor of the Liu family scolded: "Bastard, does his little doll have such courage? It must be Zhuge Yu, a bastard, who did this for his own Zhuge Academy." ”

The attendant continued to ask, "Ancestor, what should we do then?"

The old ancestor of the Liu family shouted: "Of course, we must gather all the children of our Liu family who are ten years old and younger, and we must get the bloodline evolution pill in hand. In addition, immediately revise the family tree, and I will accept Liu Xin as my daughter. ”

The attendant said cautiously: "But Liu Xin was expelled from the Liu family by you, how can you modify it?" and Lu Xingchen's little doll, he may not regard you as his grandfather...... As he spoke, seeing the angry eyes of the ancestor of the Liu family, he quickly shut up.

Only then did the ancestor of the Liu family say: "If you say another word, you will knock your head to pieces." I command you to do it at once. ”

The maiden waiter hurriedly left, and secretly laughed after going out, the old ancestor would only verbally threaten and never punish her, so she spoke so presumptuously. She didn't know that after she left, the ancestor of the Liu family took out a painting and looked at it affectionately, and the maiden waiter was eight points similar to the portrait above.

At the same time, the news spread wildly throughout the streets and alleys of Fusu City. The Bloodline Evolution Pill is a miracle medicine that can completely change fate, a priceless treasure that cannot be bought with spirit stones. I heard that only the best members of the royal family are qualified to use the elixir.

On the second day, the news of the Bloodline Evolution Pill had spread throughout the Southern Regions, but they could only hear about it, after all, the competition required that only ten-year-old children in Fusu City could participate. But they knew another thing, the Bloodline Evolution Pill was in the hands of Zhuge Yu, who founded Zhuge Academy.

The news spread quickly and spread more and more.

Finally, three days passed, and Xingchen got the list only to find that there were more than 1,000 contestants, and he was surprised. In order to compete normally, Xingchen found Shiye's latest invention of the force measuring machine.

The maximum force that this dynamometer can test is a million pounds, which is enough to cope with the selection of this competition. In addition, Xingchen also personally came to the field to test some children who practiced the Illusion Dao.

As for the quota allocation, of the 16 contestants who participated in the official competition, 12 were selected by the dynamometer and 4 were selected by the children of Fantasy Road.

Just as Xingchen was about to test the only thirty-odd Illusion Dao children, an old man walked up with a majestic face, "Xingchen, my Liu family's son. ”

Xingchen didn't admit it at all, but this old man was the ancestor of the Liu family, and he didn't dare to show a trace of dissatisfaction in the early stage of the demigod, and said respectfully: "Dare to ask what you have commanded?"

The ancestor of the Liu family saw that Xingchen was very respectful, laughed, and said: "The dynamometer can only rely on the juniors to work hard, but Xingchen, you are very flexible here. Our Liu family has a junior who cultivates the Illusion Dao, named Liu Jingqing. Do you know what I mean?" and then said normally, "Work hard, don't cheat." ”

Xingchen bowed respectfully, "Xingchen understands. ”

The ancestor of the Liu family left with a satisfied smile.

Beside Xingchen, Xingyun, who was pulled by him to make a record, asked curiously: "Brother Chen, why do you say the same thing as every demigod." ”

The ancestor of the Liu family, who had just walked a few steps, stopped and slowly turned around.

Seeing this, Xingchen whispered directly to Xingyun: "As long as you talk a lot, you are not allowed to eat anything today." Xingyun was suddenly aggrieved, hugged Xingchen's thigh and cried.

After the ancestor of the Liu family turned around, Xingchen bowed respectfully, "The younger generation will definitely pay attention to Qinqing." The ancestor of the Liu family finally left with peace of mind.

Xingyun, who was holding Xingchen's thigh, saw that it had completely disappeared, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother Chen, why does this sentence sound very familiar." ”

Xingchen glared directly, "You won't have to eat tomorrow." ”

Xingyun continued to beg for mercy, "Brother Chen, you can't do this, as soon as Sister Xiao Wu leaves, you will bully me." ”

Xingchen was helpless, and took out a jade slip, "This is the screening list, if you don't get up to help me again, the meal the day after tomorrow can be waived." ”

Xingyun hurriedly caught Yu Jian and stared at the more than thirty children in front of him expressionlessly.

The stars finally began the test, and the illusion of the mind enveloped the children, and said, "You will face the same intensity of illusion attacks, and resist with your own means. The strength of the Illusion Attack will increase over time, and the last four people will win and participate in the official match, starting now. After that, he began to build an illusion attack.

Although Xingchen thought that his initial strength was very low, more than a dozen people had already fallen directly into the illusion within the first three breaths, and the others were also supporting tightly. As time goes on, more and more children fall into the illusion.

When Liu Jingqing, who was noticed by the ancestor of the Liu family, fell into an illusion, Xingyun asked in a low voice: "Brother Chen, that Liu Jingqing is from the Liu family, right? How do you give that old guy an answer. ”

Xingchen turned his head slightly, "This is simple, the strength is so poor, if you enter the official competition, you will lose even worse, which will damage the honor of the family." Nebula, your question is good, you can eat tomorrow. ”

When Xingyun heard this, his eyes rolled, and he asked a question that he could eat tomorrow, so if he asked another question, wouldn't he be able to eat today, and immediately tried to observe.

Soon there were only four people left, and when Xingchen wanted to announce the end of the screening, he suddenly looked at Liu Jingqing, who had already fallen into an illusion, and showed surprise on his face. Xingyun also noticed it, and smiled, "You're about to wake up, Brother Chen, you thought of that reason in vain." ”

Xingchen glanced at Xingyun and didn't say anything, just stared at Liu Jingqing, the other party seemed to be adapting to the illusion he cast at an extremely fast speed, but he couldn't keep up with the strength of the illusion and couldn't wake up for a while.

Eventually, a young boy who was still awake finally fell into the illusion, and Xingchen stopped increasing his strength, and when Liu Jingjing woke up, he prompted Nebula to report the winner, and at the same time released the illusion control.

Xingyun shouted excitedly: "Victor Xicheng Liujia Liu Jingqing, Dongcheng Han ......"

After he finished shouting, the little boy who was kicked out because of Liu Jingqing shouted: "I don't accept it, I obviously survived to the end, why is the girl who has long been in the illusion situation the winner?"

The ancestor of the Liu family received the news and came here to praise: "Xingchen, you are worthy of being a child of my Liu family, and you are fair. Then he pulled Liu Jingqing and introduced to Xingchen, "Qinqing, this is your Aunt Xin's son, your cousin." Hurry up and thank you cousin. ”

The little boy suddenly had a reason, "I knew that it was a family, and this was a black-box operation, and I was not convinced." ”

Liu Jingqing is definitely a genius of the Illusion Dao, Xingchen cherishes it, so he glanced at the little boy, "I will immediately arrange for Liu Jingqing to have an illusion duel with you, if you win, you can become the winner and participate in the official competition, and the resources you need before you cultivate to the holy level, I will cover the Holy Wind Mercenary Group." Do you dare?"

The ancestor of the Liu family looked at Xingchen with a smile on his face, and said with relief: "I think the duel will be waived, in order to compensate, the resources that he cultivated to the holy level, my Liu family has taken care of it." ”

Xingchen shook his head, "This is a matter of honor for the Holy Wind Mercenary Regiment and the Xicheng Liu Family, and the duel must be held." ”

The ancestor of the Liu family was not angry, and patted Xingchen on the shoulder, "It is worthy of being my good grandson." You have to be a little more fair this time. When he said it, he accentuated the word "justice".

Xingchen bowed his hand, "Xingchen will naturally be just." Turning to Xingyun, he ordered, "Go and inform Yi Yun to arrange a standard ring, and face off in a quarter of an hour." ”

When the little boy heard this, he showed a confident expression and turned to leave.

The ancestor of the Liu family was a little worried, after all, he thought that Xingchen had put water on Qinqing, and it was very likely that Qinqing was not the opponent of the little boy.

Xingchen pulled the somewhat timid Liu Jingqing and said with a smile: "Qinqing, your talent is very high, let's go directly to Zidu Square, and I will teach you some illusion Dao attack methods." ”

Jing Jing nodded and left with the stars.

Soon they entered Zidu Square, where there was no audience at this time, and Yi Yun was already here to control the square and raise a ring.

Xingchen directly pulled Liu Jingqing to the ring, and the two stood on one side, he said: "Qinqing, we will use three different illusion Dao attack methods, you close your eyes and understand it well." ”

Liu Jingqing nodded, and Xingchen said: "The first move is very common, and the illusion mind impacts. When this move, Illusion Mind can take on the form of an animal, the most common being a war horse and a tiger. As he spoke, he began to control his phantom voice and mind shift.

On the other side, Liu Jingqing, who closed his eyes, poked out his illusionary thoughts and noticed a blue war horse running around him. She began to try to condense her illusionary thoughts into the shape of a war horse, and once she succeeded, a cyan war horse appeared.

After Xingchen felt the cyan war horse, he praised him: "Qinqing, you did a good job, the attack method of the war horse type is to charge or trample." You can try to attack me!"

Liu Jingjing began to control the attack of the cyan warhorse, but the attack fell on the blue warhorse without a trace of damage.

Xingchen continued, "The animal type attacks violently and cannot be dispersed in a single hit. Next up is the weapon type, most commonly the sword type or the needle type. They have the advantage of being nimble and able to attack their opponents by surprise, but when hit, they will break up. "Demonstrate as you speak.

Liu Jingqing listened carefully, she can usually learn what Xingchen said at one time.

Finally, most of the time passed, and Liu Jingqing, who looked weak, finished the special training and walked down from the ring. Xingyun quietly jumped in front of him, "Liu Jingqing, Brother Chen has been praising you, can you help me intercede?"

Liu Jingqing looked at the nebula that was up to his nose and said with a smile: "Little brother, what do you want me to ask for?"

Xingyun said loudly: "What little brother, I am twelve years old, and you are only nine years old, called brother." After Liu Jingqing nodded in disbelief, Xingyun continued: "I was forbidden to eat by Brother Chen today, if you help me intercede, I will give you an elixir to restore mental and physical strength." As he spoke, he took out a blue elixir in his hand.

Liu Jingqing saw the pill and agreed.

And Nebula stared straight at her, watching her walk up to Xingchen, and when Xingchen nodded, Nebula took out a roast suckling pig from the storage ring and held it in his arms and nibbled on it.

Liu Jingqing walked over and stretched out his hand, "Little brother, you promised me." Xingyun casually handed over the elixir smeared with lard. She didn't dislike it and swallowed it directly, then sat next to Xingyun and asked, "Little brother, is it delicious?"

Xingyun took the roast suckling pig and put it in front of Liu Jingqing and shook it twice, and continued to gnaw.
