Chapter 420

"Hmm! I am relieved to see that you are safe and sound, husband!"

Lady Yan nodded and glanced at Lady Wang, who was following behind Lu Bu, but did not directly attack. After all, she had to save some face for her husband, right?

But in her heart, she was prepared to properly discipline her husband and Lady Wang later, to distinguish between the big and small, so as not to have a restless household in the future.

"Father! You have finally arrived! Your daughter has been waiting for you for a long time!"

Lu spiritual energy also pouted and said stubbornly.

In fact, she also missed Lu Bu very much.

"Haha!"

Lu Bu laughed heartily upon hearing this, reached out and touched Lu spiritual energy’s head: "If you missed your father, why didn't you come to find me? Father missed you all too! Let’s go! Tell me how you have been living for the past year or so!"

Saying this, the group soon arrived at the main hall of the water camp.

A sumptuous banquet had already been prepared here.

"Come! Brother Fengxian! Mr. Chen Gongtai! Generals, please take your seats!"

Su Xuan sat in the main seat and greeted them.

"Thank you, King of Zou Qian!"

Everyone bowed and thanked him, then took their seats.

Next, it was naturally a banquet where both host and guests were happy.

The dishes and wine provided by Su Xuan were top-tier, rich in spiritual energy, and could nourish the body; they were simply not things that could be bought outside.

"Whoa! Is this exotic beast meat? Too extravagant, right? So many banquet tables, so many dishes, and they are all made of exotic beast meat. How much money must this cost?"

"Huh? Money? Exotic beast meat is a rare and hard-to-find good thing, which has great benefits for martial arts cultivation. How can it be measured by money? Even if you want to buy it, it is very difficult. Unless you are lucky enough to encounter a hunter who doesn't need it himself and chooses to sell it, you might be able to buy a little bit, and it is damn expensive!"

"Yes! The exotic beast meat here adds up to at least several thousand catties, right? Where did His Majesty the King of Zou Qian get so much exotic beast meat? Could it be that he can raise exotic beasts himself?"

Otherwise, there is no way to explain so much exotic beast meat.

The key is that Su Xuan is also generous enough!

He is actually willing to take out so much exotic beast meat to entertain them.

Of course, they also have a sense of self-awareness; Su Xuan is not being generous because of them, but because of Lu Bu.

"I heard long ago that the lord and His Majesty the King of Zou Qian have an excellent relationship, like iron brothers. Now I have finally felt it!"

"That’s right! When the lord was in Chang'an, he could entrust his wife and daughter to His Majesty the King of Zou Qian to take care of, which shows how good their relationship is!"

"Haha! You guys who came later don't know. Back when His Majesty the King of Zou Qian hadn't truly made a name for himself, he had already started to associate with the lord, and there was no lack of trade. The lord provided warhorses and furs, and His Majesty the King of Zou Qian provided fine cavalry, grain, fine wine... and other good things. At that time, what we looked forward to most was the arrival of His Majesty the King of Zou Qian!"

"There is such a thing! General Hou Cheng, tell us more about it!"

"Haha! No problem!"

"..."

"Don't just eat meat! Try those vegetable dishes too. I discovered that these are not ordinary vegetables, but precious medicines rich in nutrition! Every single one of them! After eating, I feel my Qi and blood surging, my body has been nourished, and many of my hidden injuries are healing rapidly! It is simply incredible."

"What? Really or fake?"

"It is true! Hehe! I have already eaten quite a bit! His Majesty the King of Zou Qian is amazing! None of these dishes are ordinary things! I don't know if this was specially prepared to entertain the lord, or if His Majesty the King of Zou Qian is really that wealthy? Actually able to come up with so many precious medicines and exotic beast meat to entertain guests?"

"I heard long ago that His Majesty the King of Zou Qian treats his subordinates extremely well and the treatment is extremely high. Could it be that His Majesty the King of Zou Qian’s subordinates can also receive exotic beast meat and precious medicines every month?"

"I think it is not impossible!"

"Should be impossible, right? His Majesty the King of Zou Qian has no less than 200,000 troops under his command. With so many people, if everyone is given exotic beast meat and precious medicines every month, even if everyone only gets a tiny bit, it would be an astronomical figure!"

"I agree too!"

"Not necessarily impossible! Otherwise, why would the troops under His Majesty the King of Zou Qian be so powerful? This is an ever-victorious army, and they have never been defeated. Even when the lord faced them back then, he couldn't win."

"Perhaps only a small number of elites can enjoy this treatment?"

"I actually hope that everyone can have it, so that when we join His Majesty the King of Zou Qian’s command later, we can also enjoy this treatment, right?"

"Hehe! You kid are thinking really beautifully! But you are right! You have made me look forward to it!"

"Haha! Same! Same! I was worried about the future before, but now, not only am I not worried, but I am looking forward to it more and more!"

"Correct! The lord made a correct decision this time!"

"..."

The conversations of these people were not overly concealed, and with Lu Bu’s cultivation at the peak of the early Heaven-Human realm, he naturally heard it clearly.

"Hehe! These guys!"

Lu Bu also smiled and shook his head, and said to Su Xuan with a look of shame: "I have embarrassed you, Su Boyuan! These guys have never seen the world, and their mouths have no gates. They are talking nonsense, don't mind it!"

"Where!"

Su Xuan also smiled and shook his head: "Everyone wants a better future; it is human nature!"

"Don't worry, I will arrange for them later!"

"There will be exotic beast meat every month, and precious medicines as well;"

"We were right about one thing; I am indeed very generous with my investment in my subordinates."

"Hmm?"

Lu Bu was greatly surprised: "There really is? How much exotic beast meat and precious medicine is this every month? Where do you get so much exotic beast meat and precious medicine?"

"Could it be that you are really raising exotic beasts and cultivating precious medicines yourself?"

Otherwise, there is no way to explain all this.

Even for himself, it is impossible to eat exotic beast meat and precious medicine every month.

Who would have thought that Su Xuan could provide such treatment to every soldier under his command?

He was even filled with incomparable curiosity amidst his shock, guessing how powerful the troops under Su Xuan’s command had become?

Is there really any army in this world that is an opponent of the troops under Su Xuan’s command?

"Yes!"

Su Xuan nodded affirmatively: "I have been raising exotic beasts and cultivating precious medicines in large quantities for many years!"

"Otherwise, how could I provide so much?"

"Of course, the exotic beast meat and precious medicines that the soldiers at the bottom can get every month are very few, barely enough to help them slightly improve their cultivation speed and progress. The stronger the strength, the higher the position, and the higher the merit, the more exotic beast meat and precious medicines they can get every month;"

"In fact, you can also use merit to exchange for more good things in the Merit Pavilion!"

"Since you have joined my command, Brother Fengxian, and brought so many troops, your merit will naturally not be lacking. After you are settled, I will have someone take you to the Merit Pavilion to see if there is anything you want to exchange for! I believe it will not disappoint you!"

"Whether it is divine arts, magical secret techniques, Qi refining methods, mind methods, divine weapons, real precious medicines... etc., everything is available!"

"I believe that as long as you accumulate for a period of time, breaking through to the middle or even late Heaven-Human realm will be an easy thing."

"How about it, are you satisfied with this?"

"Oh?"

Lu Bu was very surprised: "There are actually so many good things? And you are even confident that I can continuously break through in a short period of time? You must know that it has been several years since I broke through to the Heaven-Human realm, and my cultivation progress has become extremely slow!"

He began to look forward to it.

Although he failed in his bid for hegemony and had to defect to Su Xuan,

if he could gain huge progress in martial arts because of this, that seems to be a good thing!

Perhaps he might even be able to catch up with Su Xuan in martial arts in the future?

At the very least, he must catch up with people like Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun!

He had noticed before that Zhao Yun’s cultivation had already surpassed his and had currently reached the late Heaven-Human realm.

Terrifying.

You must know that Zhao Yun broke through to the Heaven-Human realm several years later than him.

Of course, Zhao Yun is much younger than him, and his talent is at least no worse than his.

Being able to break through and surpass him so quickly must be because he got the benefits from Su Xuan’s side.

If he had gotten these benefits earlier, would he not have been surpassed by Zhao Yun?

And would his cultivation not have been better than this bird-like state long ago?

Thinking of this, Lu Bu regretted it endlessly.

Fortunately, it is not too late now.

He was very glad that he did not really choose to be stubborn and refuse to come to Su Xuan’s side for the sake of face back then.

Otherwise, he would have missed these good opportunities.

Speaking of which, Lu Bu also suddenly realized at this moment that his precious daughter’s cultivation had improved to the middle stage of Dan-Qi at some point.

You must know that more than a year ago, Lu spiritual energy’s martial arts cultivation was only at the early stage of Transformation.

This improvement speed is simply terrifying.

And to have such a fast improvement speed, Lu spiritual energy’s talent is naturally one aspect, but the main reason must be the resources provided by Su Xuan.

"Hehe! This is not a problem for me! And I also believe in your martial arts talent, Brother Fengxian!"

Su Xuan replied with a smile.

"Then I will wait and see!"

Seeing Su Xuan’s confident look, Lu Bu could not help but feel a surge of heroism in his heart: "If I can really improve to the late Heaven-Human realm in a short period of time, then the realm above the Heaven-Human realm is not impossible to look forward to!"

"By the way!"

Speaking of this, Lu Bu was stunned and looked at Su Xuan with an inexplicable expression, asking with anticipation: "Since you are confident that I can improve to the late Heaven-Human realm in a short period of time, then you, who have even stronger talent than me and have such resources, what level has your cultivation reached now?"

"You wouldn't have already improved to above the Heaven-Human realm, would you?"

He also just reacted and hadn't thought about this point before.

"Hehe!"

Su Xuan smiled mysteriously: "Guess?"

Lu Bu rolled his eyes: "Guess if I guess? Stop playing these tricks! Hurry up and tell me? What is the realm above the Heaven-Human realm like?"

The Heaven-Human realm is already invincible in the world and can ignore thousands of troops. It is hard to imagine how strong Su Xuan, who is above the Heaven-Human realm, would be?

Wouldn't he be able to flatten the warlords of the world by himself?

If so, then Lu Bu will mourn for the warlords of the world for one second in advance.

It is their grievance to encounter such an invincible opponent.
