Chapter 1016: Strategic Legion

It was also because of the First Emperor's magnanimity.

Wang Jian and the other descendants of the military families were finally able to set their minds at ease.

If it were any other monarch, holding such a strategic legion in their hands—not to mention the monarch being uneasy, or the ministers at court being uneasy—even he himself, I fear, would absolutely not feel at ease commanding such a legion.

But now it is different; Wang Jian trusts His Majesty the First Emperor very much, and he also believes that as long as he does not touch the bottom line, there will be no problems at all.

Therefore, at this moment, Wang Jian began to consider how to build such a strategic legion.

Building a legion is extremely difficult.

The Golden Fire Cavalry of the Meng Clan is the result of the hard work and heart's blood of several generations of the Meng Clan, which is what created this, the Great Qin's number one cavalry legion today.

The Rune Cannon legion looks very simple, but in reality, this Rune Cannon is the most difficult part.

Clearly, this Rune Cannon is even more difficult to build than those Rune Arrows; I fear it requires craftsmen with higher cultivation and mastery of runes.

And the art of runes is clearly Su Fan's exclusive secret technique.

Although the former is not stingy about spreading it.

But wanting to learn it is also very difficult; without a few decades, I fear one cannot master it.

Moreover, it requires a certain amount of talent itself.

He had just asked Nan Sun and the others; under Su Fan's guidance, it took them several months to barely get started.

Those Rune Arrows were indeed crafted by them, but the success rate was only thirty percent.

That is to say, for every ten strong bow bodies manufactured, only three can be successfully turned into Rune Arrows in the end.

As for those few Rune Cannons, the runes carved on them also came from Su Fan's hands; if they want to successfully carve a Rune Cannon, I fear it will still take a few years.

Nan Sun is a Golden Core cultivator, nearly at Golden Core Peak, and not far from the Refining Spirit Realm.

Even for him, wanting to master the method of runes would take at least ten years; of course, if it is only to refine Rune Cannons, it might not take ten years, and if he could have Su Fan's careful guidance, a few years might be enough.

But what is built will definitely not compare to Su Fan's.

Wang Jian also knows that it is impossible for him to ask Su Fan to help him build these Rune Cannons; that the other party can bring out this technology is already very magnificent.

This secret technique and technology alone are enough to make a family a top-tier family of the Empire; since the other party brought it out without hesitation, he should instead be grateful to the other party.

One cannot push one's luck; even though Wang Jian's own cultivation is above the other party's, he still dares not offend him.

Wang Jian knows that although he is considered a powerhouse of the Military School, he is merely a powerhouse of the Military School, and there are still many in the Military School whose status is higher than his.

At the very least, today, within the Military School, he cannot even rank in the top ten.

And Su Fan, whether in the Agricultural School or the Medical School, is enough to rank at the forefront; in the Agricultural School alone, he is even second only to that Earth Sovereign Shennong; even the Agricultural Saint might not necessarily compare to the former.

This is not Wang Jian's own thought, but is recognized among the Hundred Schools of Thought.

After all, the farming techniques Su Fan brought out are too powerful for the Agricultural School's advancement; whether it is fertilizer technology or the optimization of grain seeds, it can be said that there is no equal.

The Agricultural School had already put out the word before that Su Fan is their Agricultural Saint Son, an existence equivalent to the Giant of the Mohist School.

Wang Jian is not some brute, so he naturally understands Su Fan's status within the Human Race, even if his cultivation is not as high as his own, so what?

If everyone goes to the Fire Cloud Cave in the future, he would at most count as a pioneering general for the Human Race.

While the latter can sit in a high position in the Fire Cloud Cave as a Human Sage; the two simply cannot be compared.

All along, Wang Jian has been very polite to him.

Therefore, he will be even less likely to be foolish in this regard.

What he is thinking about is how to pull this Nan Sun into the Wang Clan; as the first person in Nanjun to come into contact with the art of runes, he naturally has the advantage.

Especially since the other party can consult Su Fan and receive guidance from this gentleman, his future potential will also be greatly enhanced.

If such a talent can be pulled into the Wang Clan, then the Wang Clan will also be smoother in the future.

Do not look at how the Wang Clan is currently quite fervent in Great Qin, with father and son both being Generals, and power reaching the heavens.

But once the Wang Clan has no subsequent talents to take over, that is also very dangerous.

He, Wang Jian, has indeed reached the Martial Dao Golden Body, which can be compared to an Immortal Dao Golden Immortal cultivator, with a lifespan that is nearly infinite.

But he knows that in the future, Great Qin is still very dangerous, because Great Qin has many enemies, and the ambition of His Majesty the First Emperor is not just to have these Jiuzhou.

His Majesty the First Emperor wants Great Qin to unify Nanzhan Buzhou, and even the Tiandi Ren Sanjie, to become the supreme Heavenly Emperor.

If so, what Great Qin will face in the future will be the Immortal Heavenly Court, as well as many Xian Fo Dao Zongmen, and even demons and monsters, all of which will be enemies of Great Qin.

Although Golden Immortal cultivation is not bad, Wang Jian cannot guarantee that he will definitely survive; once he encounters an accident on the battlefield in the future.

Wang Bi alone cannot protect the Wang Clan, and if the Wang Clan has no other outstanding disciples later, then the Wang Clan will likely be destined to decline.

Nan Sun has the potential of an Immortal; if he can be brought into the Wang family and carefully cultivated in the future, then with one more Immortal in the family, the Wang Clan will have one more point of self-preservation power.

Wang Jian looks very far ahead; he wants the Wang Clan to be long-lasting, so his vision cannot be placed on just these few generations.

He wants to win over more talents to join the big family that is the Wang Clan.

In fact, it is not just Wang Jian; in reality, many powerful families in Great Qin make such choices.

After all, talents are hard to come by, especially cultivators, who have great appeal to these families.

After all, the Martial Dao is explosive and prone to sudden death, far less long-lived than the Immortal Dao; one Immortal is enough to extend a family for thousands or tens of thousands of years.

Especially in times of peace, Immortal Dao cultivators are the pursuit of many families.

It is just that ordinary Immortals will not easily join these families; after all, the Immortal Dao is noble and pure, and they themselves are free and unfettered Immortals, so why would they need to join these families?

Unless they are some Immortal cultivators facing disasters who need resources to survive the disaster, perhaps they would compromise and join some powerful families.

Most Immortals will not; even if they choose a faction, they will more likely choose those Immortal Dao sects.

Therefore, some families choose from those small and weak cultivators, approaching them from their humble beginnings, or even investing in them.

Of course, investing in cultivators has a very small success rate; most of them die and vanish just when they are facing the Immortal Tribulation.

And then all the investment ends up being like drawing water with a bamboo basket—all in vain.

But Nan Sun is different; having befriended Su Fan, this Immortal Dao senior and Human Sage, that is a different matter entirely.
