Chapter 1287: Immortal Descendant Family

Panlongcheng had already established contact with Lingshan, and the latter had successively sent various talents here, approaching three hundred people so far. Most of these were disciples from different Daoist sects, and the one surnamed Xin in front of him was one of them.

Sun Fuling said softly: "Mr. Lu couldn't come because of something at home, so Mr. Xin is taking over. From now on, the contact person between Panlongcheng and the East will be this Mr. Xin."

He Lingchuan gave a long "Oh."

"The East" specifically refers to Lingshan. Originally, the designated contact person between Lingshan and Panlongcheng was Lu Xun, the ancestor of the Lu family of Bailie. According to the agreement between the two sides, Lu Xun would be stationed in Panlongcheng in the near future, but now listening to what Sun Fuling said, he couldn't come again.

"The surname Xin is rare." He Lingchuan had only heard it once, and that was in reality.

Xin Yi was also sizing up He Lingchuan, his eyes full of curiosity: "The youngest general in Panlongcheng, I finally see him today. I heard that Ximo Ridge has been selecting vanguards for the past few days?"

The last sentence was spoken in a very low voice.

He Lingchuan smiled: "Mr. Xin, your news is very well-informed."

This was not core confidential information, but it was also a military secret and had never been lightly spoken to outsiders.

"I was told by Commander Zhong yesterday."

With one sentence, Xin Yi showed that his source of information was safe and reliable.

This was said by Commander Zhong himself; what opinion could He Lingchuan have? "And the several Daoist sect disciples who came with me this time are all going to participate in the vanguard selection at Ximo Ridge." Xin Yi added, "Commander Zhong has already approved me to go to the scene to observe."

He Lingchuan also said generously: "That's great; there's no time like the present. Mr. Xin, how about you go back to Ximo Ridge with me this afternoon?"

Panlongcheng and Lingshan had already launched deep cooperation, so some things were no longer hidden.

Besides, showing off his strong military appearance at the right time also helped consolidate bilateral relations.

Xin Yi immediately said: "Good, then I won't disturb the two of you. General He, see you this afternoon."

After saying that, he smiled at Sun Fuling and left.

Until his back disappeared behind the stone gate, He Lingchuan withdrew his gaze. Sun Fuling smiled: "Why do you look at him like you're looking at a thief?"

"How so?" He Lingchuan smiled, walking side by side with her toward the outside. "What did this Mr. Xin come to the academy for?"

"He just took office and came to visit Dean Xu today." Sun Fuling explained one by one. "The East sent many talents, eleven of whom helped the academy organize and supplement the classics, making Dean Xu grin from ear to ear. You also know that Panlongcheng was originally a border town in the wilderness, and the collection was incomplete. The Shumin Academy has been trying to improve it all these years."

Panlongcheng was originally closed off, and communication with the outside world was not smooth; the improvement of the internal and external environment had only been for two or three years. "Lingshan's move is a big help."

"I heard that the East also sent us many seeds that can adapt to an environment rich in spiritual energy and are more high-yielding. Now Mr. Helian has ordered people to open up special fields for trial planting."

He Lingchuan was moved: "That is truly a work of immeasurable merit."

One of the important factors restricting the population growth of the Panlong Wilderness for a long time was grain production.

Without enough grain, they couldn't support so many people.

It is the time of the recovery of spiritual energy in heaven and earth, and the land fertility of the wilderness is rising; if combined with grain seed improvement, Panlongcheng could support more troops and support more wars.

In ancient times, sects opened up immortal fields, planting extraordinary things. Regarding grain seed improvement, Lingshan's experience should be richer than most practitioners in the outside world.

"There are also experts from the East who came to exchange insights on artifact refining with Panlongcheng's blacksmiths, and even sparred on a few basic cultivation techniques."

"A great thing!" He Lingchuan had to admit that Lingshan was truly generous at this time. "Recently, the Emperor's Dew has come frequently, and spiritual energy is recovering quickly, so Panlongcheng's old cultivation techniques also need to be updated."

The cultivation techniques practiced by the military and civilians of Panlongcheng, in addition to those compiled by Zhong Shengguang and Xu Shichu from the outside, were mostly from Lady Mitian.

But Lady Mitian itself was a Heavenly Demon after all, and its understanding of sect Daoist methods was certainly not as profound as Lingshan, which was formed by immortals.

Perhaps it is no exaggeration to say that the classics contained in Lingshan are worthy of being called the source of Daoist methods in the world today.

Lingshan's willingness to help Panlongcheng update its cultivation techniques to cope with the brand-new world can be described as a great kindness, with sincere intentions.

Therefore, Panlongcheng also returned the favor to Lingshan, sharing many intelligence and resources.

He Lingchuan didn't expect that the bilateral forces would enter the honeymoon period so quickly.

After all, Lu Xun had sent a message before, saying that Lingshan was disgusted by Panlongcheng's worship of gods and hoped that Zhong Shengguang would cut ties with Lady Mitian so that both sides could cooperate sincerely.

Lingshan abandoned its prejudices and supported Panlongcheng so quickly? It seems that the external pressure Lingshan faces is not small either.

Sun Fuling asked him again: "Is everything going well at Ximo Ridge recently?"

"Quite smooth." He Lingchuan smiled. "Several arenas have been broken, and the new recruits are truly full of fighting spirit."

Over the past many days, he had been busy selecting vanguards at Ximo Ridge.

The so-called vanguard selection is to pick the best from the army to form a powerful special forces unit.

He Lingchuan prepared to name this elite unit the "Huyi Army."

The army under his General Huyi had recently surged from five thousand to seven thousand seven hundred, but the Huyi Army selected so far was less than two hundred and fifty.

Selecting the best from the best, the strong from the strong, and then organizing them separately into a sharp vanguard unit.

They have strong physiques, powerful combat capabilities, courage that fears no death, and strict military discipline, and they must undergo the strictest training to become the blade in General Huyi's hands, pointing wherever he wants.

Just like the Dafeng Army.

The current Panlong Army had reached 190,000 after expansion and reorganization, but the most elite unit, the Dafeng Army, was still less than 3,500, and the vanguard selection ratio was less than 55 to 1, which was much stricter than the Huyi Army that He Lingchuan was about to form.

In the Panlong Wilderness, being selected for such an army is the supreme honor, but the Dafeng Army is too difficult to enter, so the number of people signing up for the Huyi Army has surged, and even people outside the army have rushed to sign up.

Zhong Shengguang had plans for future wars, so the entire Panlong Wilderness and Maohe Plain were expanding their troops and preparing for war. Falling on every general in charge of troops, it was a tight schedule and a heavy task.

Speaking of this, He Lingchuan brought the topic back: "Tell me more about that Mr. Xin; where is he from, and what is his status in Hanyuan Prefecture?"

Sun Fuling glanced at him with a smile: "Do you know the location of Hanyuan Prefecture?"

He Lingchuan shook his head: "There are as many Daoist sects as there are hairs on an ox; how could I know them all?"

This was more than 160 years ago; how could he bother to remember the number of Daoist sects in the world at that time? "Hanyuan Prefecture is in the Shari River Basin, very, very far from our Panlong Wilderness."

He Lingchuan said casually: "Yes, in Mou, no, in the east and north of Beijia, quite far."
