It’s like having eyes in the back of his head, everyone is visible to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This ability is not something that everyone possesses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, almost no one else can possess it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan sat back in the White Tiger Chair, smiling: “The remaining matters are urgent, we need to accelerate the progress.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leave the rest to me!” Bai Ningyu waved his hand nonchalantly: “As long as they form the regiment and grasp the training, everything else is trivial!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his view, if Chu Zhiyuan can have these new recruits form an array, he’s already completed his task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining trivial matters are left to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason he entered the Phoenix Camp was because of this task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was to assist the Princely Heir, free him from constraints, and ensure he isn’t bogged down by these trivial matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan asked, “Is the supply of demon beast meat sufficient?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Eating demon beast meat is too extravagant,” Bai Ningyu replied. “Better to just take spirit pills.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of this demon beast meat is used for alchemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demon beast meat combined with other auxiliary herbs is more effective than consuming the beasts directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: “For them, eating demon beast meat is better than spirit pills, so let them have it for now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If these people were all military soldiers, then spirit pills would indeed be quicker and more effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But many of them are experts from the Martial Arts Sects, all striving towards becoming a Great Grandmaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And to achieve Great Grandmaster, they cannot take spirit pills that aid cultivation, or it would block their path to Great Grandmaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they discovered this secret and remembered taking cultivation-enhancing spirit pills in the Phoenix Camp, not only would they not be grateful, but they’d hate it and harbor resentment for life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The best solution is still eating demon beast meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He has already experienced the benefits of eating demon beast meat; after consuming flood dragon meat, the body’s strength rapidly increases.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Meat Refining Realm is progressing rapidly, the body becoming increasingly agile and graceful, considered a great pleasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ningyu said, “The Heavenly Treasure Department can only supply enough demon beast meat for one meal, this makes us hate it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed it’s lavish, but to form an army in a month, it can only be done in a crude and simple manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s akin to burning money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using demon beast meat to strengthen their physique, speed up training progress, and simultaneously enhance their sense of honor and pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the entire Da Jing Dynasty, it’s only the Phoenix Camp where the whole camp eats demon beast meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thousand mouths, and they’re martial artists at that, so demon beast meat cannot be supplied in abundance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small fist-sized piece for each already constitutes significant consumption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s worth noting that this demon beast meat didn’t come from two hunting grounds, but from the four Grotto Heavens and four Secret Lands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who can obtain demon beast meat?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Grandmasters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To trouble the Great Grandmasters with killing demon beasts daily to supply them, one can imagine how extravagant it is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this news got out, countless eyes would be on the Phoenix Camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone is aware this Phoenix Camp has limitless prospects, highly valued by the Emperor, and holds high hopes from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So how formidable is this Phoenix Camp?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ningyu initially thought it was a tough job, founding a camp from scratch with numerous tasks awaiting, sure to be mentally and physically exhausting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But ever since being authorized for a daily meal of demon beast meat, he realized his nephew was not giving him a hard time, but rather giving him a significant boost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The position of Deputy General of the Phoenix Camp would be the biggest turning point in his career; if he stabilized in this position, he could become a top military figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he didn’t see many troubles as hassles but enjoyed them with vigor and enthusiasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he encountered trouble, he’d rally his friends, fully mobilize and utilize his vast network.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under his military seasoned management, the Phoenix Camp quickly became well-organized and flourishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan was quite satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t expect his uncle to be such a competent person, entrusted with significant responsibilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early the next morning, he arrived at Mingwu Hall, stood in the Purple Sun Stance, and practiced the Purple Sun Scripture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dragon Transformation Technique advanced, the Sword Nourishing Technique advanced, and the Glazed Blade Scripture also advanced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Multiple thoughts independently ran, each not interfering with the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Chu Zhiyuan finished his practice, Chu Zhitian and Chu Zhichuan came over, grinning at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan laughed, “Brother Nine, Brother Ten, what are you up to?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fourth Brother, how about a gathering tonight?” Chu Zhichuan suggested. “It’s been a long time since we last met.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan smiled, “Nothing happening at the Military Suppression Department?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very quiet, no troublemakers… Brother Nine just finished his business, it’s worth celebrating.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright,” Chu Zhiyuan agreed readily, “Should we gather at Uncle Eighteen’s place, or at my new residence?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go to Uncle Eighteen’s,” Chu Zhichuan suggested with a smile. “He just got another jar of medicinal wine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s perfect then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eighteenth Prince Mansion\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The place shone brightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the front hall, a large table was filled with delicious dishes, and there was a purple jar of wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Mingxuan grinned, watching Chu Zhiyuan drain a bowl of medicinal wine in one go, shaking his head, “Old Fourth, you’re wasting this precious wine gulping it down like that!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan smiled, “It’s medicinal wine, the medicinal properties are what’s important.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warm flow entered his stomach, quickly spreading around, and then circulating through his flesh, creating a numb, comforting sensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This medicinal wine is truly extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly, the medicinal properties are what’s important!” Chu Zhitian also took up a large bowl, gulping it down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Mingxuan sighed, “I really shouldn’t have brought out this jar, it took a lot of effort to get it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uncle Eighteen, where did you get it?” Chu Zhiyuan asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe…” Chu Mingxuan looked smug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan immediately guessed, “From Imperial Grandfather?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of being favored, Chu Mingxuan was indeed the most favored of all the princes, with the boldest spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every day he entered the palace, eating and taking things without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other princes dared not do so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan didn’t have the guts either; to ask the Emperor for something, there had to be a justifiable reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chu Mingxuan didn’t care about that, he simply took by force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, full of wine and food, it’s time to talk, isn’t it?” Chu Zhiyuan laughed, “You both want to join the Phoenix Camp?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan saw right through their thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The establishment of the Phoenix Camp wasn’t favored, joining enthusiastically was for breaking through to Innate Perfection and reaching Grandmaster status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, the Phoenix Camp itself wasn’t favored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, its composition was complicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, the General was inexperienced, without military experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An incompetent general burdens the entire army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An inexperienced general could easily ruin the entire Phoenix Camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such a situation, those who break through to Grandmaster won’t need any further guidance and are likely to leave immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strength of the Phoenix Camp wouldn’t be too great.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An inexperienced general, coupled with a not very strong and rather loosely organized troop, how could the Phoenix Camp be viewed favorably?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Chu Zhitian and Chu Zhichuan, Chu Zhiyuan previously advised them to join the Phoenix Camp; brothers tackling challenges together could help him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both declined, preferring to stay at the Military Suppression Department, believing they couldn’t be of help with their low martial skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The biggest benefit of joining the Phoenix Camp didn’t interest them; as soon as they achieved Innate Perfection, Chu Zhiyuan would naturally help them advance to Grandmaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So there was no need to wade into these murky waters of the Phoenix Camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it seemed they were changing their minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe…” Chu Zhitian asked awkwardly, “Fourth Brother, is it too late to join now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhichuan also looked at him expectantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Mingxuan chuckled, shaking his head, “You two…when invited you didn’t join, and now you’re begging to get in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“`\u003C\u002Fp>",1422,"2026-06-03T09:57:58.104Z","2026-06-14T10:33:14.831Z",1,"novelbin.me","6909d0080ebc40b1b8963ba98813d2deff63150a1b40b2d29ebcf113a356e65c","imperial-cultivation-chapter-321","imperial-cultivation-chapter-319",1378,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimperial-cultivation-cover.jpg",{"terms":25},[]]
