Shanhaiguan, the garrison of the Shanhe Army, and the residence of the Grand Commander.

Lin Xuan slowly opened his eyes, returning from the ancient era. Two beams of light shone in his eyes, and a broad smile appeared on his face.

After he used the Mountain and River Cauldron to store the palace, he immediately returned from the ancient era.

Because he wanted to prove something.

"The Mountain and River Cauldron, emerge..."

With a thought, a wisp of spiritual light flew out from Lin Xuan's body and condensed into a large cauldron in mid-air in front of him, which was the Mountain and River Cauldron.

With a thought, Lin Xuan penetrated into the interior of the Mountain and River Cauldron.

With that glance, the smile on his face deepened, and excitement shone in his eyes.

Inside the Mountain and River Cauldron, a massive palace floated in mid-air, emitting an eerie light, resembling a black hole capable of swallowing heaven and earth.

"Hahaha... The things inside the Mountain and River Cauldron can actually be brought into reality. This time we've made a fortune."

Lin Xuan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

After he used the Mountain and River Cauldron to take possession of the palace, such a thought suddenly came to his mind.

Because he had long known that innate objects could accompany him to the ancient era. However, Lin Xuan had previously entered a dead end, subconsciously believing that things from the ancient era could not enter the present era.

Only things that are innate can do it.

So I never thought of using the Mountain and River Cauldron to store things.

It wasn't until he was decorating the palace that he suddenly thought of this, and with a try-it-out mentality, he experimented with it, and to his surprise, it worked.

"Perhaps there is another possibility: that the palace itself is very special."

Lin Xuan thought to himself, "It's too early to tell. We need to test it again tonight."

Thinking this, Lin Xuanren had already come out of the room.

He couldn't make any sense of the palace now, so he simply ignored it and left it to sit inside the Mountain and River Cauldron.

After leaving the room, a maid immediately brought toiletries, and then the kitchen began preparing breakfast.

Although Lin Xuan had reached a level of cultivation where he no longer needed to eat.

But Lin Xuan still chose to eat three meals a day.

One reason is to satisfy one's appetite, and another is to remind oneself that one is a human.

It won't come to the point where one truly has no desires or wants in the future.

Although Lin Xuan wanted to live a long and healthy life, he did not want to become a cold and emotionless monster in the future. If that were the case, his desire for immortality would be useless.

More than an hour later.

Lin Xuanmei finished her breakfast with great pleasure.

At this moment, Iron Hammer appeared just in time.

In fact, Tie Dachui had already arrived, but he saw Lin Xuan eating breakfast, so he didn't come in to disturb him.

"What's the matter?"

Lin Xuan looked at Tie Dachui walking in and casually asked.

"My lord, there are rumors circulating outside that someone is deliberately making things difficult for our Shanhe Army during this garrison mission."

Iron Hammer said in a deep voice, "Moreover, this mission has been announced earlier than expected, in three days."

"Three days later!"

Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised. He had previously received information that the garrison rotation would take seven days.

But now it's been moved up to three days later.

Such a major event is generally impossible to announce ahead of schedule.

Unless, something has changed. And at this time, those kinds of rumors suddenly started circulating outside. Could they be aimed at me?

"Do you know who started those rumors outside?"

Lin Xuan asked and answered in a deep voice.

"It has been investigated. At first, it was spread by a few playboys who got drunk in a bar. Later, somehow, it just spread and now it's being talked about all over Shanhaiguan."

Our soldiers in the Shanhe Army already know about this, and many of them are very indignant.

People's hearts are restless...

Tie Dachui quickly replied, "As for whether those spoiled brats were genuinely drunk or did it on purpose, we don't know."

"Go and check the backgrounds of these people."

Lin Xuan's eyes turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Check who's behind them, what family they belong to, find out which faction they belong to, and investigate thoroughly."

"clear!"

Iron Hammer nodded quickly.

"Well, how is the soldiers' training going? How much has their strength improved?" Lin Xuan then asked.

“Very good, much better than we predicted.”

Tie Dachui's face immediately lit up with excitement, and he said, "As of yesterday afternoon, the weakest of our 100,000 soldiers in the Mountain and River Army has already stepped into the second stage of the Purple Mansion Realm, the Palace Creation Realm..."

"Palace Creation Realm!"

Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed and shocked.

His previous request was that all 100,000 soldiers of the Mountain and River Army should at least reach the Purple Mansion Realm, which actually meant the first stage of the Purple Mansion Realm: the Platform Casting Realm.

Unexpectedly, the soldiers were so capable, and not only did they all enter the Purple Mansion Realm, but they also achieved great success.

Moreover, it is the second stage of the Purple Mansion Realm, the Palace Creation Realm.

With such strength, any one of them would be a regional overlord if deployed elsewhere. Especially within the Great Xia Dynasty, they would be capable of guarding a region.

However, when he joined the Shanhe Army, he was just an ordinary member of the gentry.

However, despite their vastly different statuses, not a single soldier in the Shanhe Army would choose to leave.

Because they are not stupid; only by following Lin Xuan can they obtain abundant cultivation resources.

Many resources that are simply unavailable outside the region.

While they may be just lowly soldiers in the Mountain and River Army, they are powerful figures guarding a region within the Great Xia Kingdom. Even if they were stationed at Shanhaiguan, they would be high-ranking officials in most legions or departments.
