But considering the other person's age, the Queen had no choice.

Well, never mind. No matter how high the other party's cultivation level is, he is still just a five-year-old child. Naturally, he has no awareness of maintaining the demeanor of a strong person.

Well, that way, it might be easier for her to do business with the other party in the future.

Kids are just kids, a little coaxing will make them fine.

"By the way, Your Majesty, I just received an invitation from the Xiangyun Pavilion of the Bujiang Dynasty. They say they have obtained a pill that can directly improve cultivation, called Ying Dan."

Just as the Empress was secretly making plans, Zhan Wuxin spoke up again, "Moreover, it is a top-grade three-patterned product, and there are no side effects after consuming it. Although it is only effective for cultivators below the Spirit Profound Realm, I think it is worth trying to obtain it."

"Such a special elixir, I'm afraid there are many people interested in it, and we may not be able to get our hands on it."

Upon hearing this, the Empress gently shook her head and said, "Those powerful families have deep foundations and are not short of money. They will certainly spare no effort to improve the strength of their children. There are too many monks and not enough porridge. In the Bujiang Dynasty, let's just forget about it."

"But Mother Empress, the other party claims to have four thousand, and I feel..."

"What?"

The empress, who had initially seemed uninterested, raised her voice slightly upon hearing this, "Four thousand? All of them are three-patterned?"

"Yes, everyone is saying that it was probably taken out and sold by a disciple of a reclusive family."

Zhan Wuxin said with a strange expression, "Do you think it could be that person? I've heard that there are quite a few Immortal Realm cultivators among the escaped prisoners, and there are also rumors that more than a hundred bolts of lightning struck the vicinity of Houji Mountain at the same time. It all seems too coincidental."

"..."

Upon hearing this, not only Zhan Wuxin, but even the Empress felt that it seemed to be true.

His identity is mysterious and powerful, and he just happens to be in the Bu Jiang Dynasty—it's just perfect!

"Since there are so many, let's buy them."

The Empress thought for a moment and said, "We should try to get as much as we can. This will greatly boost the morale of our soldiers."

Although each country has many powerful individuals, the powerful individuals of the imperial dynasties are not yet strong enough to move mountains and overturn seas. Therefore, battles between imperial dynasties often employ a strategy of overwhelming numbers.

The strength of ordinary soldiers is mostly around the True Profound Realm, while that of cavalry is the Spirit Profound Realm. Although cavalry is fewer in number, their strength and role are far superior to those of infantry.

Cavalry combines high mobility and powerful assault capabilities, making it the most powerful military force in the era of cold weapons. Each dynasty regarded cavalry as its most elite force.

Therefore, if one can acquire one hundred of these, it is equivalent to having one hundred more cavalrymen, which would greatly enhance one's advantage in battle.

Finally, the Empress made a decision: the secret service would send the twelve newly returned guards and the eight newly added guards to secretly infiltrate and protect the Third Princess, as a way for her to atone for her crimes.

As for the mountain stronghold, Shangguan Mingxue personally went to negotiate.

The moment the secret chamber appeared, the clouds stirred in all directions.

As countless cultivators secretly infiltrated, Di Moyu and his group from the Alchemist Guild arrived at the border of the Bujiang Dynasty.

Since there was still some time before the secret palace opened, Di Moyu was not in a hurry to travel. Instead, he asked the people from the Alchemist Guild to help him find out the whereabouts of Deng Shi, Ji Lewei's mother.

As the saying goes, perseverance pays off. After making inquiries from various sources and with the help of money, they finally obtained some useful information.
