Chapter 73

For a time, Su Xuan's reputation soared.

It was even said that the current Son of Heaven, Liu Hong, knew of Su Xuan and had praised him.

He had the idea of summoning Su Xuan to Luoyang to serve as a Lang official.

But this was blocked by the Yuan family.

"The Yuan family? They are really something, aren't they?"

Upon learning of this, Su Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light flashed through them and vanished.

Admittedly, he had no interest in entering Luoyang to serve as an official right now, but that did not mean he would not hold a grudge.

Time flowed like water.

In the blink of an eye, nine months had passed.

During these nine months, Su Xuan's forces developed rapidly.

In terms of commerce, they had completely opened up the situation.

Drunken Immortal Brew, soap, refined salt, white sugar, sweaters... and so on, had become famous commodities throughout the entire Great Han and even in parts of the regions beyond the borders.

Earning Su Xuan a vast amount of wealth.

In terms of military affairs,

The 3,000 private troops, after long and arduous training, combined with the best dietary conditions... and so on, through practicing the military formation body-tempering method and the corresponding basic spear techniques, archery techniques, and horsemanship created by Su Xuan... and so on.

Not to say that everyone had stepped into the Clear Energy stage, but at the very least, everyone's Qi and blood and physique had greatly increased.

One-third of them had successfully stepped into the early stage of Clear Energy.

Among these people, there were also a few small geniuses who had stepped into the mid-stage or even late stage of Clear Energy.

However, because they practiced the military formation body-tempering method, their Qi and blood did not contain attributes, making them a notch weaker than martial artists of the same level who practiced high-tier or even top-tier cultivation methods.

This was something that could not be helped; there are strengths and weaknesses.

Fortunately, this was enough.

If there were truly geniuses who established sufficient merit and were promoted, they could switch to practicing high-tier cultivation methods in the future.

This gap and shortcoming could still be made up for.

After Wen Pin obtained the top-tier cultivation method tailored for him, after a year of practice, he had also broken through to the late stage of the Transformation Realm a while ago, and there was hope for the Gangjin Realm in the future.

Dian Wei had broken through to the mid-stage of the Gangjin Realm.

Huang Zhong was still at the peak of the Gangjin Realm.

But his strength was at least twice as strong as it was a year ago.

Both his physique and spiritual power had been greatly improved.

If it were not for the fact that he had only been practicing the Spirit Refining Method for a little over half a year, and his mental state was still a bit lacking, he estimated that he would have already successfully broken through to the "Seeing God Without Defect" realm.

To break through to the "Seeing God Without Defect" realm, besides the basic requirements of physique and Qi and blood, there were also very high requirements for spiritual power and mental will.

The current Great Han had a gap in Heaven-Man martial artists precisely because it lacked Spirit Refining Methods and mental cultivation methods.

He had the Spirit Refining Method, but as for the mental cultivation method, even Su Xuan had not yet deduced it; he only had a lead for the time being.

It was mainly due to the lack of relevant knowledge to serve as a primer.
