In order to allow the 30,000 elite soldiers in the mansion to enter the acquired realm as soon as possible.

Shangguan Qiuyu asked the housekeeper in the mansion to purchase a large number of medicinal materials needed for the Refining Body Powder and the Boundary Breaking Pill in Yucheng.

Although the Boundary Breaking Pill and Body Refining Powder do not require much kill value, they cannot withstand the high demand for it.

In order to save the kill value, Shangguan Qiuyu naturally spent more money to buy medicinal materials, so as to reduce the required kill value.

Because the Shangguan family secretly purchased a large number of medicinal materials, the price of medicinal materials required for refining body powder and breaking the boundary pill in the entire Yucheng City skyrocketed dozens of times.

You must know that Yucheng, as the imperial capital of the Yu Dynasty, has a variety of resources in storage, which is by no means comparable to any place.

However, it was such a huge city with a population of over 100 million, and in just a few days, all the low-grade body refining medicinal materials were swept away.

This shows how many medicinal materials Shangguan Qiuyu has collected, and how many Refining Body Powder and Boundary Breaking Pills have been made.

Shangguan Qiuyu was overjoyed when he saw the piles of medicinal herbs.

However, the steward of the treasury in the government is cold in his heart.

Most of the money that had been accumulated in the treasury of the house was completely emptied, and except for the expenditure of the next year or two, there was no surplus money left in the house.

Although the stewards of the prefecture did not understand why their own young generals wantonly bought these low-level body refining medicinal materials.

However, this does not hinder their efficiency.

With the refinement of the body and the retraining of the body, the soldiers in the mansion can be said to have accumulated a lot of experience, and every day there are people who break through and enter the acquired realm.

This made Shangguan Qiuyu's cheap grandfather very happy, as for the money in the treasury, Shangguan Xiong really didn't care about it.

In his opinion, no amount of money is as important as the breakthrough of his subordinates.

It was just one month from Shangguan Qiuyu to Yucheng.

Nearly half of the 30,000 soldiers have broken through the Refining Body Realm and entered the Acquired Realm.

And the most important thing is that all of them are cultivating both internally and externally, and they have not taken the route of external strength and strength as before.

If it weren't for Shangguan Qiuyu's repeated insistence that everyone must cultivate both inside and outside, the number of 30,000 soldiers breaking through would inevitably double on the original basis.

Although Shangguan Qiuyu's standards were very tough, no one objected.

Because everyone knows that when a body refining realm martial artist enters the Acquired Realm, it is easiest for them to be able to form both internal and external cultivation.

As long as the external skills are consummated, the martial artist is not in a hurry to break through, and he will first practice a true qi in the body after enduring the character.

In this way, while the martial artist enters the acquired realm with external strength, he can also cultivate internal strength.

It's just that the general external martial artists don't like the kind of internal force exercises of water grinding kung fu.

You must know that there is a big gap between a third-rate martial artist with internal strength and a third-rate martial artist with external strength.

External martial artists, after breaking through the body refining realm, their strength will be significantly improved, which will make their own strength skyrocket.

On the other hand, internal martial artists need time to accumulate their own internal strength, and this process is very long in the early stage.

Perhaps it is only after the external martial artists have reached the second-rate realm that the internal martial artists can reach the mid-third-rate or late-stage level.

The same starting point between the two, but the speed at which the external martial artists advanced was amazingly fast, leaving the martial artists who cultivated internal martial arts far behind.

However, the same drawbacks are obvious.

If a martial artist wants to maintain his strength for a long time and let himself live longer, he must cultivate both inside and outside.

Internal strength cultivates the body, it can well repair the wounds caused by external cultivation.

However, both internal and external cultivation not only requires a lot of resources, but the same cultivation progress is very slow.

It is even much slower than the cultivation of internal strength, and without the assistance of the Boundary Breaking Pill, it is difficult for martial artists who generally focus on refining their bodies to practice a piece of their own true qi.

After all, when people concentrate on one thing, they will definitely come faster and see the results more quickly than doing the same two things.

Although there is not much advantage in the early stage of internal strength cultivation, in the later stage, as time goes by, internal strength martial artists will become stronger and stronger.

And external martial artists will gradually decline their own strength because of the aging of their bodies.

Both have their own advantages, but also have their own disadvantages, and it depends on how the warrior chooses for himself.

Shangguan Qiuyu's arrival did not make the guards and soldiers stop practicing.

On the contrary, seeing Shangguan Qiuyu, the guards and soldiers practiced even harder.

Leaving the murderous military formation, Shangguan Qiuyu came to the edge of the school field, a relatively secluded place.

Here, there is a small group of blood-clothed sword guards.

The Blood-Cloaked Sword Guard, a swordsman formed by scouts in the army.

For a long time, the Shangguan family has been interested in developing in the direction of Jianghu martial arts.

But there has never been a good opportunity, and in addition, the ancestors of the Shangguan family have an inexplicable antipathy towards people in the rivers and lakes.

Therefore, for a long time, the Shangguan family has not been able to make an inch of progress in the power of the rivers and lakes.

These elites selected from the scouts of the original army have a taste similar to the special forces in the previous life.

This made Shangguan Qiuyu immediately ask for it from his cheap grandfather after learning that such a special unit was stationed in the Shangguan family's mansion.

Bloody Sword Guard, this is a team that specializes in hunting and killing people in the rivers and lakes who oppose the Shangguan family.

In the rivers and lakes, there are always all kinds of people in the rivers and lakes, and they have an inextricable enmity with the Shangguan family.

Thus, hitting the stone with an egg, he always found trouble with the official family.

And in order to deal with those people, it was difficult for the Shangguan family to use a large army to hunt them down, so these blood-clothed sword guards with rich scout experience were born.

It is common to chase and kill for thousands of miles, and they chase for thousands of miles until they never die, which makes them famous in the rivers and lakes.

There are less than 300 blood-clothed sword guards, each of them is a small master who cultivates both inside and outside, and most of them have reached the peak level of second-rate internal and external skills.

As the elite of the scouts in the army, the murderous aura in their bones is bred in a pair of cold eyes.

The aura around his body is close to nothing, and there is no iron-blooded aura emanating from the iron guard's body at all.

One by one, they are like poisonous snakes, and they are very good at hiding themselves.

Seeing Shangguan Qiuyu coming, a group of blood-clothed sword guards immediately stopped the swords in their hands.

Standing still neatly, with a pair of chilling cold eyes, staring at Shangguan Qiuyu who was approaching step by step.

"See Major General"

The three blood-clothed sword guards were in command, bowing to Shangguan Qiu Yu in unison and hugging their fists.

Before seeing the blood-clothed sword guard, Shangguan Qiuyu thought that the strongest trump card of the Shangguan family must be the famous iron guard.

After all, the three thousand iron guards, with each Shangguan family ancestor on the battlefield, have set countless achievements, so that the world knows them very well.

It is precisely because they are inseparable from the ancestors of each Shangguan family on the battlefield that the focus of people's attention is on them.

As a result, the world forgot that there was a small number of people, but a blood-clothed sword guard who was secretly guarding the Shangguan family.
