One county has a population of more than 10 million! This is nearly 100 times more than the small city of Zhishunhe City with more than 100,000 people.

With formal instruction, an average of 10,000 people can give birth to an innate powerhouse. There are more than 11 million people in Nanlin County, and there are definitely more than 4 million people who are suitable for cultivation, if they can be cultivated well, they will be a full 400 innate realm masters by then, and in terms of the number of innate masters alone, they are not inferior to the Hidden Dragon Sect of the thousand-year-old sect.

It's just that...... If a person with ordinary qualifications wants to cultivate to the sixth level of qi refining, even if he has the guidance of a famous teacher, it will take at least thirty years...... Thirty years later, God knows what will happen, and the time aspect is something he can't stand anyway!

It's just that the words of Princess Ning Yue and the others are not unreasonable, a behemoth like Saint Xuanzong wants to rely on the strength of one person to deal with it, it is really too difficult...... "Master Qin, serving as the protector master of a country will not affect your cultivation except for temporarily letting you stay in my Holy Moon Country. Moreover, as long as you can become the master of our country's protector, whether it is money, manpower, or even all the convenience in cultivation, we will find a way to provide it and do our best to meet your needs!"

"I had a grudge with the Holy Xuanzong before, and the possibility of resolving this grudge is extremely low. You asked me to be the sword master of the Holy Moon Country, aren't you worried that this will attract the jealousy of the Holy Xuanzong? In the past, the Shangjian Sect of the Chongshan Country brought about the destruction of the sect just because it had shielded me, and in addition to the sword master in the gate, even the master of the sect also died, aren't you afraid of the Holy Moon Kingdom?"

When Princess Ning Yue heard this, she chuckled and said, "Not to mention that there is a hopeless Lin Hai barrier between us and the Holy Xuanzong, which is more than four thousand miles apart, even if there is no hopeless Lin Hai, as long as Master Qin joins the Eastern Alliance as a sword master, the Holy Xuanzong will not dare to be presumptuous anymore." The sect and the state are opposites to a certain extent!"

"The Eastern Alliance can indeed form a certain amount of jealousy against the Holy Xuanzong. It's just that the Holy Xuanzong didn't dare to come, the sword master of the Enlightened Kingdom would dare, aren't you afraid of provoking the powerful enemy of the Enlightened Kingdom for your Holy Moon Country?"

"Master Qin, the matter between countries is not as simple as you think, with the Eastern Alliance pressing on it, they must have sufficient reasons before they can attack our Holy Moon Country!

Qin Zhan was also thinking about a solution in his heart.

"It does have certain benefits to have a county with a population of more than 1,000 as a backing, but it is impossible for me to stay in the Holy Moon Country for a long time and be the protector master of the Holy Moon Country......" At this moment, he thought of the Heavenly Star Country, because the Heavenly Star Country has two kendo masters, so one of them can travel anywhere freely...... "Right now, I have a lot of Ning Yuan Dan and Spirit Ore in my hands, and I will soon be able to raise my cultivation to the quasi-sword master realm!" Coupled with the four low-grade spirit swords in my hand, two middle-grade spirit swords, and with the help of the ancient formation, the possibility of being promoted to a kendo master is extremely high...... If you're lucky, you'll be able to have a few spirit swords left...... When the time comes, I can find a few guards who are loyal to me, rely on these spirit swords to cultivate another kendo master, and let him sit in the Holy Moon Kingdom for me, wouldn't this be a way to kill two birds with one stone......"

Of course, the key to this plan is that after he relies on the spirit sword to be promoted to the kendo master, there are still enough spirit swords left, so that those guards who are loyal to him can use the spirit sword to break through!

"This matter is very important, I still have to think about it clearly! Moreover, at the moment, the sword master of the Hidden Dragon Sect has not completely returned from King Zhenyuan, so we must also act according to the actions of the Hidden Dragon Sect, so let's put it aside for the time being. ”

Princess Ningyue was naturally overjoyed to see that Qin Zhan had changed from a mouthful of rejection before to a slight consideration now. If he is willing to think about it, it means that there is hope, and this matter does involve all aspects, and pressing it too hard may arouse his disgust.

"Master Qin is reasonable, this matter really can't be rushed, Master can think about it slowly, if there are any additional requirements, even if we try our best, we will meet you. ”

Qin Zhan nodded: "Let's go back to the Bright City first and wait and see what happens." ”

"Yes, Master Qin. ”

Princess Ningyue immediately let the team set off and headed in the direction of the Bright City.

The Bright City is only a few dozen miles away from the Hidden Dragon Sect, and when noon is approaching, everyone has successfully entered the Bright City and stayed in the courtyard of a luxury restaurant!

After a long day of running, Qin Zhan finally had time to sort out the various harvests since the beginning of the day, and after entering the private room, he immediately took out all the items that he had plundered from the Hidden Dragon Sect.

Although he had been mentally prepared in advance, when he carefully examined the various gains obtained from the Hidden Dragon Sect, the priceless treasures still surprised him.

Of all the items, the lowest value is undoubtedly the high-quality ones that were previously difficult to buy. Due to the low price, it is also the largest quantity, even if more than 30 pills were consumed last night, there are still three bottles of nearly 100 pills.

After the top-grade Qi Gathering Pill, it is the Innate Divine Pill and the Void Breaking Pill. The Innate Divine Pill that had been fried in the Heavenly Star Country for 80 million taels before, there were twenty-six of them, and there was even a bottle of thirty-two of the Broken Void Pills!

In addition to these, there are also six Ning Yuan Pills, nineteen medium- and high-grade spirit mines, and there are not a few other pills that increase strength, and there are even several pills that can improve one's cultivation without side effects at all, and even help them break through the bottleneck.

"Not to mention the spirit sword, these pills alone are estimated to be worth no less than 20 billion when sold. ”

Two tens of billions! If all of them are exchanged for silver, it will definitely be piled up, enough to make anyone dizzy!

However, what made Qin Zhan feel that the most important thing was the cultivation technique of the Hidden Dragon Sect - the Hidden Dragon Technique!

The countless special luck methods on the Hidden Dragon Technique were able to show many incredible abilities, such as the method of breathing, holding breath, and moving lightly, and Qin Zhan immediately indulged in it.

Now his biggest enemy, in addition to the Holy Xuan Sect, is the Hidden Dragon Sect.

The Great Elder of the Hidden Dragon Sect and the Sect Master and the others were led into the Hopeless Forest Sea by themselves, and the two elders of the Hidden Dragon Sect must have known this. Now that he has come back safely, those elders have no information, when they understand the key to the matter, it is strange that these two elders are not crazy, so what he has to do now is not only to cultivate, but also to familiarize himself with this cultivation technique as soon as possible, and to be familiar with the attack methods and assassination secret techniques of the Hidden Dragon Sect, so that even if he faces these two sword masters of the God Transformation Realm again, he will not be caught off guard by some special attack methods.

The Hidden Dragon Recipe is a cultivation technique that has been handed down from the Eastern Great Xia Empire, and the various magical powers recorded on it are of certain use even to the legendary swordsmen of the fifth layer of the Transformation Gods! Qin Zhan took a full three days to memorize the various attack methods described in the Hidden Dragon Technique, although he didn't dare to say that he understood them all, but at least he could know them in his heart.

After understanding this, Qin Zhan did not continue to cultivate.

With six spirit swords by his side, no one can calm down and study those moves, quickly improve their strength, and the idea of breaking through to the realm of transforming gods has become so impatient in their hearts!

After carefully storing the Hidden Dragon Formula, he immediately took out a top-grade Qi Gathering Pill and swallowed it, and began to condense the true qi in his body.

Spirit Mine, Ning Yuan Dan, and Psychic Divine Sword, which are treasures that can be used when promoted to the realm of transforming gods, naturally have to be used later, although a large number of treasures have just been looted from the Hidden Dragon Sect, but they can't be wasted at will!

Qin Zhan's cultivation was already close to the peak of the ninth layer of qi refining before he led the people of the Hidden Dragon Sect into the Hopeless Forest Sea, and under the control of his powerful divine sense, his ability to digest the Qi Gathering Pill was also greatly enhanced. After swallowing sixteen top-grade Qi Gathering Pills, the energy in his body finally rose again, reaching the realm of the ninth layer of Qi refining.

Qi refining at the peak of the ninth layer, this is already the most powerful top master in the continent except for the sword master! Even the Holy Xuanzong who forced himself to death and killed his own master Zhang Wang was also in this realm!

However, although they are both at the peak of the ninth layer of qi refining, with Qin Zhan's current real strength, with the Luofeng Sword weighing 1,500 jin and the divine sense that is strong enough to transform into a god at the peak of the fourth layer, it is no longer difficult to kill Xiao Gang, who is only at the ninth level of qi refining.

Of course, the premise is that he is not nested in the Holy Xuan Sect and is protected by those elders of the Heavenly Xuan Peak!

Feeling the saturation of the true qi in his body, Qin Zhan knew in his heart that this was already the limit of human beings, and even if he cultivated again in the future, except for making the true qi more refined and the sword skills more proficient, there would definitely be no substantial improvement!

If you want to go further, you must continue to compress, condense, and purify, condense the peak of the ninth layer of qi refining all over your body to condense the first sword element, and finally use this sword element as a guide to lead down the spirit realm sword spirit, and use the power of the sword spirit to advance to the realm of transforming gods.

"Transformation Realm...... Taking this step is to truly officially enter the big stage of the mainland and go to the world!"

After taking a light breath, Qin Zhan took out a Ning Yuan Pill, adjusted his state, and swallowed it in one gulp.

He didn't have the patience to rely on his own strength to slowly condense the first sword element, but chose this the fastest and most direct way!

When Ning Yuan Dan entered the body, the medicinal power immediately spread, and after a while, the mutated true qi in the body seemed to have suffered some kind of stimulation, and gradually became hot, as if a sword had melted into molten iron at an extremely high temperature, and it was in the process of being recast!

Qin Zhan, who was familiar with the condensation process, naturally would not miss this opportunity.

In front of this spiritual power that is countless times more powerful than the ordinary ninth-layer Qi refining masters, those true qi that has reached the peak and is difficult to control are like toys, all of them are mastered by powerful divine thoughts, and they are constantly relying on the medicinal power of Ning Yuan Dan to carry out infinite compression!

Condense the sword element, within reach!
