When Fairy Nishang saw the top-grade spirit stone, her eyes lit up immediately and she said in surprise, "With this top-grade spirit stone, I have hope of forming a pill."
Building the foundation and breaking through to the golden elixir stage is the second threshold for cultivators. Even a saint with extraordinary talent from another world would find it difficult to form the golden elixir without inheritance.
Fairy Nishang has a stunning appearance, but her aptitude for cultivation is average. Having the top-grade spirit stone only gives her some more hope.
But there is no need to rush for now. It will take some time for her to reach the state of great perfection from the late stage of foundation building. Chen Dabing did not expect that three top-grade spirit stones would allow her to form a pill. He would look for some opportunities for her later!
Ting'er said, "Sir, don't be so anxious to leave! Stay with us for a few days."
Chen Dabao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll stay with you for a few days."
He didn't attend the morning court these days, and stayed at home all day, chatting with Fairy Nishang, playing games with Ting'er, and other senior and junior sisters.
After seven days, Chen Dabing felt that he could not stay any longer as it would greatly affect the spiritual aspirations of Fairy Nishang and his senior and junior sisters, so he immediately set off to leave Lingyu City, the capital of Zhao State. Of course, he took along the beautiful girl Nan Huanuo who did not need to practice hard.
"Sir, where are we going? Do we really want to join a mercenary group and fight on the battlefield?"
Chen Dabing opened the map and took a look. He said, "Since we have nothing better to do, we might as well try out the secret technique of rising towards death. The so-called rising towards death means that when facing danger when fighting against an enemy, the more dangerous it is, the easier it is to rise. So, we want to join the mercenary group and go to the battlefield. Where should we go? Here, to Qiling City, we will join the Qiling Corps."
Nan Huanuo said, "Sir, you have taken a fancy to Fairy Qiling, right? I heard Fairy Qiling has announced that anyone who joins the Qiling Corps will have the opportunity to become her dual cultivation partner."
Chen Dadan remained calm and said, "We're just picking a random mercenary group anyway, so let's just pick her!"
Nan Huanuo said, "But, I heard that Fairy Qiling practices evil magic. It's very dangerous to be her dual cultivation partner."
Chen Dabing didn't take it seriously and said, "The evil skills of the Demon Sect are the best. If she is a female demon, I will eliminate the demons and defend the Tao."
After setting the itinerary, the two of them boarded their flying swords and flew straight to their destination, Qiling City. Chen Dabing was still only at the second level of the Qi Refining Stage and could not fly on a sword, so he had to use Nan Huanuo as a mount.
They flew all the way to Qiling City, which was originally a city of the Qin State. During this period, various countries and forces fought against each other, and the seven countries tightened their defenses and abandoned some cities and minerals. Some mercenary groups took advantage of the situation and occupied these cities.
Qiling City is one of them. After it was captured, it was renamed Qiling City and is now the headquarters of the Qiling Corps.
"Fellow Daoist, please stay. Flying is prohibited in Qiling City. If you are passing by, please take a detour. If you are entering the city, please enter on foot."
A thousand feet away from Qiling City, a team of soldiers immediately came out to stop them, looking heavily guarded.
Chen Dabao said, "We are here to join the Qiling Corps. We would like to ask for your introduction, General."
The leader, who was at the Foundation Establishment stage, said, "Welcome, welcome. Please enter the city through the main gate. We will have our own corps introducer to take you to register. However, our Qiling Corps does not accept female cultivators."
Nan Huanuo felt discriminated against and said, "Why don't you accept female cultivators? Isn't your regiment commander, Fairy Qiling, a female cultivator? I heard that your personal guard is also composed entirely of female cultivators."
The team leader said, "It is precisely because our regiment commander is a female cultivator and has witnessed the tragic end of female cultivators captured on the battlefield that we forbid female cultivators from participating in the war."
Nan Huanuo was puzzled and asked, "What was the tragic end of the captured female cultivator? Isn't it just death?"
The team leader shook his head and stopped explaining, saying, "Anyway, our Qiling Corps doesn't accept female cultivators. If this female Taoist fellow insists on joining the mercenaries, please go to another corps."
Chen Dabing pulled Nan Huanuo back, preventing her from asking further questions, and said, "Thank you very much, General. We can go into the city and take a look. We don't necessarily have to join."
The two men lowered their flying swords as per protocol and prepared to walk into the city. Nan Huanuo said, "Sir, since the Qiling Corps doesn't accept female cultivators, why are we still going in? Are you planning to leave me behind and join alone?"
As Chen Dadan walked away, he said, "Of course I won't abandon you. Let me ask you, have you heard the story of Mulan joining the army?"
Nan Huanuo said, "No, I haven't heard any of your stories, sir."
Chen Dabing shrugged. Of course, since they weren't from the same world, he hadn't heard of it. He said, "It's about a girl who joined the army in her father's place. The army wouldn't accept girls, so she disguised herself as a man for twelve years. None of her comrades knew she was a woman."
Nan Huanuo said: "There are only two possibilities in this situation. Either she is ugly, or her comrades are pretending not to know."
Chen Dabao said, "Why can't she be a disguised person? She's naturally beautiful like you, but as long as she puts something on her face and speaks in a raspy voice, she can get away with it."
Nan Huanuo immediately understood what he meant and immediately took out something to smear on her face, hands, and exposed skin. As expected, her gorgeous appearance was instantly concealed. Then, she bowed to Chen Dadan and said in a raspy voice, "Excuse me, is the Qiling Corps recruiting? I am a brave and invincible warrior."
Chen Dabao nodded, looking very much like a teenager. However, his gaze lingered on one spot as he said, "The only flaw is that his chest muscles are too big. They're not something a little boy can possess."
Nan Huanuo blushed and said, "What should I do? I absolutely don't want to be bound with a breast wrap. I'm still growing!"
Chen Dabao said, "We won't bind our breasts. Sir, you have your own way. Bring your little mouth over here."
Nan Huanuo's face turned even redder, and he said, "That's not good! You want to kiss me in broad daylight, and there are people in heaven!"
The squad leader who had led the soldiers had long since stopped paying attention to them. Chen Dabing hugged her and took a breath into her little mouth, then quickly let go and said, "That's good."
Nan Huanuo looked down at his chest and found it was flat. He cried, "Sir, what have you done to me? I don't want to live anymore."
Chen Dabing patted her forehead and said, "Why are you worried? I can make it smaller or bigger."
Nan Huanuo burst into laughter and said, "That's good. You scared me to death. I'll make it bigger next time."
As the two talked, they walked into the city gate.
We found that the city was in ruins, with dilapidated houses everywhere and almost no ordinary people. It seemed that the city had experienced many wars and suffered heavy losses.
As the team leader had predicted, someone immediately approached and greeted them, "Are you two here to join the regiment? The Qiling Corps offers very generous employment terms, with a monthly salary of ten spirit stones, plus additional compensation for battlefield duties and missions."
Chen Dabao said, "The salary doesn't matter to me. I heard there's a chance to become Fairy Qi Ling's dual cultivation partner, so I came here for that."
The man's eyes widened in surprise, and he said, "Our employment brochure does have that clause, but your cultivation levels are so low that it's probably just a pipe dream. I admire you though; having a dream is enough to make you more than just a lazy person. Come on, I'll take you to the registration hall."
