Realizing This Is Wuxia World After Cultivating For 300 Years
Chapter 129
8,000 soldiers, 8,000 Grandmasters
***
He rode the clouds and flew!
In the eyes of most people, this was the means of an Immortal. If it wasn't an Immortal, what was it?!
Therefore, Cui Heng's arrival in the clouds of luck immediately caused a commotion throughout Yunshu County.
Almost every citizen knelt on the ground and bowed to the sky.
After gathering the light of joy and love from these people, Cui Heng landed in front of Hui Shi, Chen Tong, and Meng Zhang.
However, he did not speak to the three of them first. Instead, he looked at the 8,000 soldiers not far away and nodded lightly. "Alright, they're all good men."
These soldiers are good people.
Yunshu County was bordered by grasslands. Almost all men practice martial arts, and their physiques are extremely strong.
Although the martial arts they practiced were not profound martial techniques and at most could only be developed to the level of Internal Nurturing, and they were unable to even reach the Qi Sensing realm, either, it was enough to strengthen the body and strengthen their Essence, Qi, and Spirit.
"Supervisory Master, Yunshu County is filled with good people!" Chen Tong came and bowed. “If we can recruit tens of thousands of soldiers and train them a little, we can definitely defend this city.”
“Haha, Chen Tong's. The Supervisor himself is already here. Do we still need you to defend the city?” Hui Shi was a straightforward person, and always expressed his thoughts. After bowing, he said, "Supervisory Master, are you here because there is something special about the prairie barbarians?"
Both of them knew that since Cui Heng himself came to Yunshu County City, he would definitely use his holy power to guard the city.
This battle is guaranteed.
However, if it was just an ordinary battle, they should have only received letters to allow them to conduct recruitment. No need to come in person.
Unless there's something abnormal about the prairie barbarians.
“The situation has indeed changed.” Cui Heng slightly nodded and looked at Meng Zhang beside him. He smiled and said, "Is this the Governor of Yunshu County?"
"Your humble servant, Meng Zhang, greets you, Master Supervisor." Meng Zhang bowed respectfully to Cui Heng and inevitably asked, "May I ask if you are a God?"
Cui Heng's appearance just now was too shocking
Even this experienced old guard found it hard to believe.
He felt that his understanding had been reversed.
A human could actually ride the clouds and fly in the sky. Isn't this Immortal?
After all, in this world, even if one were to develop their martial arts into the Divine Treasure Realm, open up the treasures in their body, and possess divine power, it would be possible to use them, they still can't fly.
Only ancient legacies with deep foundations such as Daoyi Palace had methods to specifically awaken divine powers such as "Riding the Clouds" and "Riding the Wind".
“I'm not a God. I'm still mortal. I only have a few tricks up my sleeve. Cui Heng shook his head slightly.
Here's truth.
To him right now, even this world still had too many unknowns.
Compared to the vast universe, the abilities of a Golden Core cultivator were even more insignificant.
"..." - ".Meng Zhang was silent. He had lived for most of his life and had never seen a human being who could ride the clouds. "Mr Supervisor, you came here personally to help us defend the city, didn't you?"
In the end, he remained back to the topic of defending the city.
Currently, guarding the city was the most important thing in Yunshu County. Whether the people in the city lived or died depended on whether Yunshu County could be preserved in the future.
"That's right, I'm indeed here to help you defend the city." Cui Heng nodded and admitted.
He has no convoluted habits.
He's not a puzzle guy.
"Throughout?!" Meng Zhang's eyes twinkled upon hearing that. He immediately knelt down and prostrated. “Thank you, Mr. Supervisor. Please save the people in Yunshu County from the war.”
"There's no rush to thank me." Cui Heng gently raised his hand and did not let Meng Zhang continue to prostrate. He smiled and asked, "May I know what kind of troops do you think are needed to protect this city?".
“At least 12,000 soldiers,” said Meng Zhang without thinking. He thought Cui Heng was asking about the number of recruits, so he added, "If we want to attack the barbarians in the north and defeat them, we should recruit at least 30,000 soldiers."
Although the Great Jin Dynasty had been war-torn and people were struggling to survive, the border troops still maintained a strong fighting force and relatively superior equipment.
Grassland barbarians are good at riding and shooting. When they charged forward, they did not care about their lives.
However, their commanding equipment and skills were much inferior to Great Jin.
Therefore, during a large-scale battle, it was not strange that the Great Jin army expelled the barbarians who were several times in number.
Many of the hundreds of thousands of barbarians were artisans and laborers. The only ones who could actually fight were 50,000 cavalry and over 10 army battalions.
This was also why Meng Zhang dared to say that 30,000 soldiers could defeat the barbarian army.
“What if we only use these 8,000 soldiers?” Cui Heng asked again and stressed, “What kind of squad is needed?”
"That's impossible!" Meng Zhang was extremely agitated when he heard this. He shook his head and said, “Master Supervisor, do you plan to let these 8,000 people defend the city? No, it's impossible. If there were only this few people, they might not even be able to maintain Yunshu County!”
"Governor Meng, please calm down." Cui Heng shook his head and smiled. “My point is, if these warriors have profound martial arts and have the strength to fight one against ten or even one against one hundred, can they defeat the barbarians outside?”
“In theory, it could work, but how is this possible.” Meng Zhang is getting confused.
He was also a martial artist, but due to his limited talent, he was only at the Marrow Refining realm.
However, even if it was only the realm of Marrow Refining, he could hardly be considered a first-rate expert in the Pugilistic World.
Therefore, Meng Zhang knew very well that it was extremely impossible to cover the gap of hundreds of thousands of people just by increasing one's physical strength.
That's not possible.
Chen Tong and Hui Shi immediately understood what Cui Heng meant.
Especially Hui Shi.
He really experienced it himself.
"What-what?!" Meng Zhang's eyes widened as he looked at Cui Heng in disbelief.
He had never heard such a silly question in his life.
It was the Qi Transformation realm. It is known as the Transcendent realm. In the Pugilistic World, such an expert could be the ancestor of a sect.
"Supervisory Master, that's enough, '" Chen Tong replied.
As part of his mission, he has helped the governor manage the military. It was appropriate for him to stand up and speak at this moment.
"Alright, let's do that." Cui Heng immediately decided and said to Meng Zhang, "May I trouble Governor Meng to order someone to send a cup of tea?".
“T-certain... I will follow the orders of Mr. Supervisor.” Meng Zhang was already filled with doubt, not knowing what Cui Heng wanted to do.
Can he really raise 8,000 people to the Qi Transformation realm?
Don't be silly!
How is this possible?
After a while, the tea is served.
Cui Heng circulated his Dharmic strength and raised his hand to wave it casually around the teacup. He smiled and said, “Alright, bring this cup of tea for the men. Remember to ask them to drink more.”
This time, everyone was stunned and looked at Cui Heng in bewilderment.
Did the Supervisory Master mess with his words?
This cup of tea was definitely not enough for two mouthfuls for an ordinary person. How could it be distributed to 8,000 soldiers?
The person who served the tea was a young jury.
Now, his facial expression was even uglier than crying.
This jury had never seen Cui Heng riding the clouds before. He was called at the last minute.
From his current point of view, Cui Heng deliberately made things difficult for Meng Zhang
However, when the jury saw the first soldier drink tea in one gulp, the tea in the teacup was completely refilled. He was immediately shocked.
He almost knelt down in front of Cui Heng.
This is an Immortal!
Immediately after, something extraordinary happened which made the jury and Meng Zhang very surprised.
After drinking the tea that had been "handled" by Cui Heng, the 8,000 warrior bodies began to emit steam one after another. They immediately trained their bodies.
For a moment, crackling sounds rang out in the sky above the training ground.
The aura of these soldiers quickly became stronger.
They could clearly sense that their martial arts were flourishing. No need to communicate with each other at all. With only a slight movement with their hands and feet, they became stronger.
Incredibly, it was really too unbelievable!
In the blink of an eye, the bodies of these soldiers were fed from within. They even surpassed the Qi Sensing realm, Qi Accumulation, Tendon Transformation, Marrow Refining, and Qi Condensation to reach the Qi Transformation realm!
8,000 Grandmaster Transformation Qi!
Such power was born just like that!
As their transformation ended, 8,000 soldiers kneeled in front of Cui Heng and kowtowed!
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
Their voices rose like a tsunami reaching the clouds.
At this moment, Meng Zhang was completely dumbfounded.
His eyes widened as he stared at the soldiers in disbelief. He subconsciously slapped himself to test if he was dreaming.
Hui Shi and Chen Tong, who were standing at the side, were also slightly surprised.
Although they had guessed that Cui Heng wanted to improve the martial arts of these soldiers, they had not expected him to cause such a commotion.
8,000 grandmasters!
This is too exaggerated!
Has anyone ever led 8,000 Grandmasters to war?
Cui Heng, on the contrary, had a calm expression on his face, and his heart was unmoved.
After all, the so-called Transcendent Grandmaster was actually only equivalent to a Fourth level Qi Refinement. They are even much lower in many aspects.
With his current cultivation of the Golden Core realm, just by spreading out a few handfuls of soybeans, he could create tens of thousands of soldiers at the Fourth Level of Qi Refinement.
It was too easy to raise these 8,000 soldiers to the Qi Transformation Realm.
"Supervisor Master is truly an Immortal!" Meng Zhang bowed to Cui Heng respectfully, as if he was bowing to a god.
"No need to be so polite." Cui Heng shook his head lightly and gestured for Meng Zhang and the soldiers to stand up. He then faced Hui Shi and said, “In the next few days, help them familiarize themselves with the power they just gained. You can also teach them some martial techniques. ”
"Yes, Mr. Supervisor!" Hui Shi hurriedly bowed.
Six days later.
In the barbarian camp 20 miles away from Yunshu County.
One by one, siege engines had been created, and 300,000 soldiers, including craftsmen and workers, were ready to depart. Chao Wushu sat on his horse in front of the troops, his eyes fixed on the distant Yunshu County City. He suddenly took out the sword at his waist and roared into the sky.
“Soldiers, follow me! Once we seize the Yunshu Pass, we will have food for winter, delicious wine and meat, and beautiful women!
"Yes!"
