Two thousand years ago, a strand of sword light flashed across the nine heavens, tearing through the sky.
The world recovered, and martial arts began to revive.
Two thousand years later...
Battle Qi Technique, Eight Styles of Slaughter.
When the soldiers of the First Army received these two martial arts techniques and skills, everyone was stunned, and the entire First Army garrison immediately erupted in excitement.
"Holy crap, this Battle Qi Technique is actually a Xuan-level technique! My god, am I dreaming? The Commander-in-Chief actually gave us a Xuan-level technique."
"The Eight Forms of Slaughter are the same; they are also at the Xuan level."
"Unfortunately, it's not the complete book; only the first few levels are available. To get more, you'll have to exchange contribution points."
"This is already quite good. Even if it's just a fragment, a Xuan-level cultivation technique or martial skill is frightening enough."
"That's right, it seems that the national defense technique of my Great Xia is only at this level!"
"The Great Commander is amazing! Not only does he provide us with fourth-grade and third-grade pills, but now he's even giving us Xuan-level cultivation techniques. It's just too awesome."
"With this Battle Qi Technique and the Eight Forms of Slaughter, as well as the pills every month, I am confident that I can break through my limits and go further within three months."
...
The entire First Army was excited because of the Battle Qi Technique and the Eight Styles of Slaughter.
Many people were extremely grateful to Lin Xuan.
They spontaneously bowed to the Grand Commander's residence, where Lin Xuan resided, to express their gratitude.
No one understands better than them that in this outer heaven, every bit of strength increases one's chances of survival.
The First Army was originally the army with the highest mortality rate at Shanhaiguan.
They are usually facing the most dangerous tasks.
Now that they have the cultivation techniques, martial arts skills, and pills provided by Lin Xuan, the overall strength of the First Army will be elevated to a higher level in a short period of time.
The future is limitless.
In this way, the mortality rate of the First Army will be greatly reduced.
It can be said that Lin Xuan was the savior of the 80,000 soldiers of the First Army.
This moment.
Many soldiers secretly vowed that from now on they would follow Lin Xuan to the death to repay his kindness.
At this moment, just as the soldiers of the First Army were filled with emotion.
An uninvited guest arrived at Lin Xuan's residence.
It was Gu Chen, who was standing next to Lu Zhantian.
The Presidential Palace, main hall.
"Commander Lin..."
Gu Chen smiled and cupped his hands towards Lin Xuan, saying, "I apologize for disturbing you."
"Mr. Gu, you're too kind."
Lin Xuan glanced at Gu Chen and replied calmly. He knew Gu Chen well; he was a favorite of Lu Zhantian.
He once served as the commander of the First Army, but after resigning, he has been assisting Lu Zhantian.
Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes and glanced at Gu Chen, then said in a deep voice, "Mr. Gu, you don't come here without a reason. Just say what you need!"
"this……"
Gu Chen's face immediately turned bitter. He hadn't expected Lin Xuan to be so direct.
After hesitating for a moment, he said in a deep voice, "Since the Commander-in-Chief has said so, then I will not hide anything from him."
I've come today to ask the President a question.
"Are you proficient in alchemy...?"
"Alchemy!"
Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow, his mind clear as a mirror, and immediately understood the purpose of Gu Chen's visit today.
Needless to say, they came for the elixir.
It seems that the news that he had increased the welfare benefits for the soldiers of the First Army and provided them with pills every month reached Lu Zhantian's ears.
That old man is tempted again.
"I only know a little bit about it."
Lin Xuan smiled slightly and said, "What, Mr. Gu, have you come for the pills?"
"Yes, General, you mean, I wonder if the Grand Commander's pills can be provided to the soldiers of the other legions at Shanhaiguan."
Gu Chen quickly replied.
"No problem! Buy at market price, as many as you need, I have plenty."
Lin Xuan chuckled softly.
With his current alchemy skills, he can refine tens of thousands of these mortal-grade pills in one batch, and at least eight to ten batches per hour.
If Lu Zhantian really wanted to buy, he was actually willing to sell.
After all, the profit margin on these pills is quite high.
No!
To be precise, it's the height of profiteering.
Take a Grade 4 Essence Pill as an example; in Shanhaiguan, it costs no less than 300,000 coins.
If this were in the Great Xia territory, the price would be more than three times higher.
The cost of a single Essence Pill is less than three cents, but definitely less than three hundred dollars.
At least a thousand times the profit.
It's terrifying to even think about.
"market price?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Chen could only manage a wry smile.
If it were based on market price, it wouldn't be him coming to negotiate. A single Essence Pill costs at least 300,000, considering how many soldiers there are in the entire Shanhaiguan Pass.
Even if each person received one Essence Pill per month, it would still bankrupt the Shanhaiguan military headquarters.
Since Lu Zhantian sent him to negotiate, he naturally wouldn't be buying at the market price.
According to Lu Zhantian's idea, at most, he would add about 10% or 20% to the cost price.
In fact.
Gu Chen and Lu Zhantian both knew very well that the profit margin of pills was extremely high, and the cost of Lin Xuan's Essence Pill and Condensation Pill must have been very low.
Otherwise, Lin Xuan wouldn't have been so extravagant as to supply the entire First Army of 80,000 soldiers.
"Commander-in-Chief!"
Gu Chen rubbed his hands together and said with a wry smile, "Well, as you know, there are so many soldiers at Shanhaiguan. If we were to supply them all at market prices, the military would definitely not be able to afford it."
Can I…
"Can't!"
Before Gu Chen could finish speaking, Lin Xuan waved his hand, interrupting Gu Chen and coldly said, "Go back and tell General Lu Zhan."
Lin's alchemy was very demanding, and he could only refine a few batches of pills each day.
Therefore, this price is absolutely essential.
