No need for formalities.
Li Jing waved his hand and said.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Zhao Li thanked Guo Jingfei before standing up.
"Zhao Li, select one hundred eunuchs from the eunuchs in the manor to form the Shadow Guard and have them practice this Shadow Combat Technique."
With a flick of his sleeve, Li Jing sent a book flying toward Zhao Li.
The Ninth Prince's residence has more than just Zhao Li as a eunuch.
The entire Ninth Prince's residence had more than a thousand eunuchs.
"Yes, this old servant obeys."
Zhao Li grabbed the Shadow Combat Technique book with his right hand.
"Shadow Combat is a peerless martial art that possesses stealth, concealment, and swordsmanship."
"It is a method specifically for training assassins, killers, or death squads."
"Moreover, this is a peerless martial art that can be mastered quickly!"
A glint of light flashed in Li Jing's eyes as he said in a deep voice, "Only the most loyal person is qualified to cultivate, understand?"
If they are trained slowly, it's unknown when this Shadow Guard will be able to be put to use.
However, Shadow Combat is different; it is a martial art that can be learned quickly.
Given enough resources, their cultivation speed will be unparalleled.
"This old servant understands."
Zhao Li said with a solemn expression.
With a thought, Li Jing conjured up a series of large boxes in the open space outside the cultivation room.
There were over a hundred boxes, which left even Zhao Li and Guo Jingfei speechless.
"These are 100,000 Body Tempering Pills for Body Tempering Realm martial artists, 100,000 Qi Nourishing Pills for Acquired Realm martial artists, 10,000 Qi Gathering Pills for Innate Realm martial artists, and 100 Yuan Cultivation Pills for Aperture Opening Realm martial artists."
"Send them all to the warehouse, and Zhao Li will take charge of these resources."
Li Jing pondered for a moment, then looked at Zhao Li meaningfully and said, "However, there is one thing you must remember: if Guo Jingfei goes to the storeroom to collect pills, you must not stop him."
We absolutely cannot use this opportunity to line our own pockets!
Otherwise, you know the consequences.
As the steward of the Ninth Prince's residence, Zhao Li did not intend to strip Zhao Li of his management rights over the storeroom, but a proper reprimand was still necessary.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, this old servant would never dare to pocket even a single pill!"
"This old servant will take good care of all the pills in the entire storeroom and ensure that every single pill entering and leaving can be traced."
"If there is any problem with the pills in the storeroom, this old servant will not trouble Your Highness to take action; I will bring my own head to Your Highness."
Zhao Li's face showed fear and trepidation as he knelt down before Li Jing and solemnly said...
"I trust you; otherwise, I wouldn't have let you manage these resources."
"Alright, get up."
Li Jing said calmly.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Zhao Li breathed a sigh of relief, then shakily got up, looking like he was terrified out of his wits.
"These resources will be used to train the guards and Shadow Guards for the manor."
"Don't be stingy with resources. It's okay to exhaust them all if they are used for cultivation."
"I've run out of pills, but I need elites, people who can train true masters!"
"Do you understand?"
Li Jing looked at Zhao Li and Guo Jingfei and instructed them, "In a couple of days, ten times the amount of resources will be delivered to your residence."
"..."
Zhao Li and Guo Jingfei were completely stunned.
ten times……
There are over 200,000 pills here. If we give you ten times that, wouldn't it be over 2 million pills?
Just thinking about the money these pills were worth made them feel a chill run down their spines.
Even the annual revenue of the Yan Kingdom's national treasury couldn't withstand such a few mishaps, right?
Where does Your Highness get such enormous wealth?
"You two also need to intensify your cultivation. The cultivation level of only the minor completion of the Aperture Opening Realm is far from enough."
"You may take as many pills as you need from the treasury as you wish for your cultivation."
Li Jing said with a calm expression.
"Yes, this old servant obeys."
"This subordinate obeys the order."
Zhao Li and Guo Jingfei both spoke with expressions of deep emotion.
"If there's nothing else, you may leave."
Li Jing waved to Zhao Li and Guo Jingfei and said.
"Your Highness, I have something to ask you."
Guo Jingfei considered it for a moment before speaking.
"explain."
Li Jing looked calmly at Guo Jingfei and said.
Zhao Li also looked at Guo Jingfei, wanting to know what he wanted to know.
"Your Highness, should I increase the number of guards from one thousand to five thousand?"
Guo Jingfei tentatively said, "This humble general needs to go to the Imperial Guard to select soldiers to make up the number of one thousand guards."
"Now that the manor has no shortage of resources, should we select four thousand men to increase the guard to five thousand?"
The Prince's residence in Yan Kingdom has a quota of 5,000 guards. Because the original owner had no background and was too low-key, he didn't dare to ask for the quota of 5,000 guards and only asked for 1,000 guards.
Throughout the entire Yan Kingdom, apart from the Ninth Prince's residence which only had one thousand guards, the residences of the other eight princes each had five thousand guards.
"This is my token. Take it and go to the Imperial Guard to select someone."
"I have only one requirement: I'd rather have none than accept something substandard!"
Li Jing handed a golden token with "Ninth Prince" written on the front and "Li Jing" on the back to Guo Jingfei and said in a deep voice.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, this humble general will definitely select the truly elite troops for you!"
