Turning his head, he saw Yan Yan Lingji looking at him with a surprised expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“You were previously…”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yan Yan Lingji had a look of uncertainty on her face. Just a moment ago, she felt that Su Xuan had lost all signs of life. He closed his eyes as if he were dead. She even went up to sense Su Xuan’s breath, but ended up sensing nothing at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“I went on a spirit wandering!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xuan explained to Yan Yan Lingji.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yan Yan Lingji’s eyes flickered, somewhat confused; clearly, she did not understand what spirit wandering meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xuan did not explain too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The so-called spirit wandering, fully called “Spirit Travel,” was a technique for the soul or primordial spirit to leave the body. After the fall of the Han State, Su Xuan had obtained this technique. Through this period of cultivation, he could barely manage to have his soul leave his body and wander outside. However, the distance between the soul and the physical body could not be too far; if it were too far, something would go wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Like in the myths and legends heard in his past life, Tieguai Li, one of the Eight Immortals, had his physical body destroyed during a spirit wandering, which was why he had to attach himself to the corpse of a cripple to gain a new life.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>During the process of spirit wandering, it was the most vulnerable moment for Su Xuan. At that time, if someone destroyed his physical body, and he could not find a new body in time, he would become a wandering ghost without a master, and then dissipate between heaven and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was fortunate that Yan Yan Lingji had no malicious intent earlier; otherwise, she would have actually had a great opportunity to complete a feat that even Donghuang Taiyi had not completed—not killing Su Xuan, but killing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He still had some things he hadn’t said, which was that besides “Spirit Traveling” to Yan Dan’s place, he had also used a “Soul Seizing” technique once. That day in Yongcheng, he had killed Lao Ai with a soul-chasing technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Soul-chasing was a technique to put someone to death; corresponding to it was the soul-seizing technique. Soul-seizing was, as the name suggested, a technique to seize souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>With the help of this technique, he seized one of Yan Dan’s souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Afterward, he gave the Six-Fingered Black Knight three days to consider. These three days were to let the Six-Fingered Black Knight accept the fact that Yan Dan had one soul seized and had become a living dead person.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Therefore, if the Six-Fingered Black Knight truly cared about Yan Dan.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>No matter what he would encounter by going to the Yin-Yang School, he would still choose to go alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Earlier, meeting Nian Duan in Xianyang was an accident. Afterward, Su Xuan developed the intention to recruit Nian Duan. After all, Nian Duan’s medical skills were extremely superb, yet in the original work, she ended up with the fate of a doctor who could not heal herself, which was truly pathetic.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xuan also wanted to try to change Nian Duan’s fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>To be precise, he was preparing for the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Because of him, the Qin State’s destruction of the Han State had happened several years earlier than in the original history. If nothing went wrong, the destruction of the other five states and the unification of the world would also happen much earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And Ying Zheng had long known that there were other worlds beyond the Nine Provinces. With his character, as long as national strength allowed, he would clearly not be satisfied with just destroying the six states. Just like in the original history, after destroying the six states, he forcibly conscripted the Regarding Baiyue and carried out several major projects in succession, leading to severe depletion of Qin’s national strength. The survivors of the six states were full of complaints. After Ying Zheng passed away, in just a few years, the Qin State followed and perished.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Since Su Xuan had made up his mind to use the Qin State as a big tree for cultivation, he clearly did not want the Qin State to perish in the second generation as in history. In fact, he even had to find ways to improve the Qin State’s national strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Recruiting Nian Duan, training more doctors, and improving medical standards was one way.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In this era, not to mention that various common colds could take the lives of the people, even childbirth had a fifty percent chance of premature death. In the final analysis, it was because medical standards were not high enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If medical standards were improved, the survival probability of the people could be significantly increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And besides medical standards, the improvement of agricultural standards would lead to an increase in grain production, which could allow more people to have food to eat, and if there was sufficient grain, even if a war were launched, it would not lead to an empty national treasury because of one war.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In general, improving agricultural standards was something with great potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And in this era, the most significant way to improve agricultural standards was to modify tools.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Mohist School practiced the doctrine of non-aggression, but in the original work, the mechanical beasts they created were not non-aggressive at all. Although they were not used directly in war like the Gongshu family’s Mechanical City, they were not much better.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>More importantly, the Mohist School in the original work, because of Yan Dan, went down the path of anti-Qin, which was basically a dead end.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xuan truly could not bear to see them step onto this dead end, so he was prepared to save them.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Tomorrow, come back with me to the Lishan Yin-Yang School!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xuan said to Yan Yan Lingji beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He had an appointment to meet the Six-Fingered Black Knight in three days.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>These three days were enough to do some preparations to see if he could persuade the Six-Fingered Black Knight to let the Mohist School be used by the Qin State.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Six-Fingered Black Knight and Yan Dan were on good terms, nothing more than Yan Dan giving the Mohist School opportunities to develop in the Yan State.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Yan State was a land of bitter cold with absolutely no potential for development. Therefore, rather than riding the Yan State’s war chariot, it would be better to recognize the general trend and join the Qin State early. Who said the Qin State had no room for the Mohist School?\u003C\u002Fp>",1133,"2026-06-17T04:20:16.697Z","2026-06-17T08:59:55.704Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","5823df668833e0e6679b24febcac4554a4a6fe19775687e20c07858d851e5cb6","great-qin-starting-with-earthly-fiends-and-heave-chapter-170","great-qin-starting-with-earthly-fiends-and-heave-chapter-168",617,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgreat-qin-starting-with-earthly-fiends-and-heave-cover.jpg"]
