kingdoms have submitted to the Great Lan Dynasty as vassals for many years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they are located in a desert with harsh geography, there is little arable land and few places to raise cattle or sheep, which leads to frequent famines in both kingdoms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The combined population of the two countries is only over fifty million, and their combat-ready troops number less than three hundred thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of threat, the two desert kingdoms are considered the least threatening to the Great Lan Dynasty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is also the reason why the Great Lan Dynasty transferred the Red Qilin Army, which had been guarding the southern border, to the western border.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this does not mean they can be completely ignored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they lack peak combat power, the two desert kingdoms combined have fifteen top-tier experts at the level of Grandmasters and top-tier True Persons!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging from past battles, while there have been no instances of a group of top-tier experts joining forces to surround and kill a peak expert, there have been many cases of top-tier experts joining forces to confront a peak expert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most recent one occurred on the Bai Feng Plains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on these battle records and the power displayed by peak experts in the past, there is a rough estimation in the cultivation world:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the number of top-tier experts exceeds twelve or thirteen, and among them are both martial artists and sorcerers, led by several experts who have reached the peak of the Dao Establishment realm or the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend, and they form a formation and are willing to fight to the death, they can indeed clash with a peak expert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, if more than half of these fifteen top-tier experts appear on the battlefield, it is definitely a force that cannot be ignored!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, the \"Asura Army\" of the Xuanmo Kingdom and the \"Flame Dragon Army\" of the Chimo Kingdom, these two elite armies each have over ten thousand men, all of whom are martial artists and possess exotic beast mounts!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than half of the martial arts masters and True Persons of the two desert kingdoms are also in these two elite armies, and they are proficient in joint-attack techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two elite armies plus a group of top-tier experts are the foundation for the two desert kingdoms' courage to launch a war!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty-two years ago, the two desert kingdoms took advantage of the invasion by the Western Continent Allied Forces to launch a war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, they were beaten by the Great Lan Dynasty, which had freed up its hands, and suffered heavy losses, from which they have not fully recovered to this day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the Western Continent has not yet sent troops, the two desert kingdoms have become the ones to \"light the fire\" first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, the First Imperial Prince and Prince Li rebelled, killing all the soldiers in the southern border who dared to resist and were the most loyal and battle-hardened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards, the southern border troops were forced to move north, experiencing defeat, fleeing, and being scattered and reorganized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nowadays, the combat power of the entire southern border army can be said to be at its lowest point in history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, after the war broke out, the blades of the two desert kingdoms were like two sharp knives, quickly tearing through the southern defense line!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lanling City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Imperial City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duke Miller was drinking tea in a pavilion in a courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The faint fragrance of tea permeated the pavilion, making one feel relaxed and happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with Duke Miller's powerful spiritual strength, he was infected by the tea's fragrance, and his state of mind became peaceful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tea he was drinking is called \"Spring God Full Moon,\" a top-tier tea product specifically for cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Great Lan Dynasty produces no more than thirty catties of \"Spring God Full Moon\" each year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Duke Miller already had five catties in his hands; these were sent to him privately by officials of the Great Lan Dynasty in the last few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition to \"Spring God Full Moon,\" Miller also received many precious items that were invaluable and difficult to buy with money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And these precious items were all chosen to suit his preferences, and could be kept in his private collection room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miller had to admit that the Great Lan Dynasty's intelligence work was very meticulous and their understanding of him was very deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, the Duke is in high spirits.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hearty laugh suddenly came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miller turned his head to look, and unsurprisingly, it was Zhao Fei from the Cabinet of Internal Affairs again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this period, this 16th-level cabinet official had been responsible for negotiating with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attitude of Chief Grand Secretary Ye Ze was tough, but the attitude of Zhao Fei and others was very gentle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Zhao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miller did not stand up, but turned to raise the teacup in his hand to the other party, \"This tea is indeed a rare top-grade, come and taste it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Fei walked into the pavilion and sat beside Miller: \"I knew the Duke was a person who understands tea. There are twelve types of tea in my Great Lan Dynasty that are listed as divine products, and this 'Spring God Full Moon' is just one of them. I have another type of tea at home called 'Summer Flying Flowers,' I will bring it to the Duke another day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then many thanks to Lord Zhao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, this tea must be delivered to someone who understands tea so that it is not a case of casting pearls before swine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two chatted about tea for a while before Zhao Fei changed the subject:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wonder how the Duke has considered the suggestion I made last time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miller calmly put down the teacup in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Fei had previously proposed that he could develop multiple collaborations with the family he belonged to, which even included giving corresponding martial arts techniques aimed at his family's bloodline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the transcendents of the Western Continent rely on bloodline power, it does not mean they cannot cultivate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they can cultivate martial arts that complement their own bloodline power, not only will the cultivation of martial arts be easier, but it may also promote the growth of the bloodline and further develop bloodline power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the past few years, the Great Lan Dynasty has been buying weapons from the Western Continent, and the Western Continent has also been collecting cultivation methods from the Eastern Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duke Miller's bloodline power had awakened to the Vice-Duke level a long time ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His bloodline power is too strong and can no longer be incorporated into implants, as it would cause conflict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he can still cultivate various martial arts, because martial arts are essentially techniques for utilizing transcendent power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared with the vast and boundless martial arts and sorcery systems of the Eastern Continent, the Western Continent's utilization of transcendent power seems very \"crude.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because those who master power are a very small number of people, and those whose bloodlines cannot awaken cannot embark on the path of cultivation at all, there is no such huge \"transcendent base\" as in the Eastern Continent, and no various sects to study and innovate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miller was dismissive of the Eastern Continent's martial arts at first, until his family secretly traded for a martial art that could cultivate Dao energy, and his thinking changed completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His current bloodline power has reached the Duke level, almost reaching the limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, it would be impossible for him to become stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if he could master a few more Dao energy techniques and practice them to the Creation realm, he felt that his combat power could still be improved!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's just that, just as it is difficult for the Great Lan Dynasty to obtain the most advanced scientific technology from the Western Continent, the seven Western Continent countries have also failed to obtain the top martial arts heritage from the Eastern Continent over the past few years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Dao energy technique that can be practiced to the Creation realm is a priceless treasure wherever it is placed, and only top forces have it; the seven Western Continent countries have no way to get their hands on it for the time being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the deal proposed by Zhao Fei made Miller very tempted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's just a pity... he couldn't agree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Zhao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please speak, Duke.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For the sake of this 'Spring God Full Moon,' I will tell you the truth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please go ahead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For this mission, the seven kings of our Western Continent have reached a consensus. If you want to negotiate terms, you must make concessions on that proposal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the pavilion, the two looked at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fake smile faded from Miller's face, and Zhao Fei became expressionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For these days, this Lord Zhao had shown his gentleness, humility, humor, and elegance in front of Miller, which was truly refreshing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only at this moment did he seem to have finally shed all his disguises:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does Duke Miller think that my Great Lan Dynasty dare not fight another war with the Western Continent?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miller toyed with the teacup in his hand: \"I just received news that the two desert kingdoms have jointly raised troops to invade your country's southern border. Your country is now beset by internal and external troubles; can you really afford to start a war again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's more, we sincerely want to trade weapons with your country. If your country is unwilling, we can sell those new weapons to others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Zhao Fei subconsciously clenched his fist under the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sell new weapons to others?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides the Great Lan Dynasty, who else can they sell to in the Eastern Continent?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sell to the two desert kingdoms! Sell to the Grassland Royal Court!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this were really the case, the seven Western Continent countries wouldn't even need to send troops to pose a huge threat to the Great Lan Dynasty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahahaha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Fei suddenly laughed, and his tone became gentle again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Duke, in fact, the content of that proposal is not impossible to discuss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miller: \"Oh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Fei looked at him: \"It's just that opening free trade rights to all seven countries at the same time is too difficult. If it is only opened to one or two of them, it is not impossible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miller narrowed his eyes, and a smile appeared on his face again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the negotiation had advanced to this point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is a Central Plains saying that I just learned recently, and I don't quite understand its meaning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wonder which saying it is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This saying is called—Two Peaches Kill Three Warriors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wonder if Lord Zhao can enlighten me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahahaha, good, then I will explain this saying to the Duke properly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Late at night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yangxin Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The new monarch Qin Ziheng simultaneously summoned the three regents: Chief Grand Secretary Ye Ze, Grand Marshal of the Military Council Wenren Zheng, and Marquis of Jing'an Li Fei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, even if I am willing to open up partial trade rights to one or two of them, they are still unwilling to agree?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ziheng first asked about the negotiations between Ye Ze and the Western Continent delegation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Ze reported the situation, and it was not optimistic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Majesty, I fear that the deployment of troops by the two great desert nations has given them greater confidence, causing their appetites to grow even larger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Ze said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ziheng’s expression turned ugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having just ascended the throne, he had already suffered much criticism for failing to avenge the late Emperor, and his personal prestige had greatly diminished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the seven nations of the Western Lands had come to make exorbitant demands, and the two great desert nations were sending troops to violate the borders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of this truly made him, the Emperor, feel stifled!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grand Marshal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ziheng turned his head to look at Wenren Zheng, \"How is the Green Frost Army’s recovery coming along?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once a peak powerhouse is injured, recovery is extremely difficult. Once a ten-thousand-man-level Imperial Guard army suffers damage, recovery is equally difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Personnel and equipment both need to be replenished, and the newly joined Imperial Guards require a massive amount of training to adapt to the operation of a ten-thousand-man-level military formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, the Green Frost Army had relied on a grand formation to transmit power over long distances, which caused immense wear and tear on their own evil-suppressing weapons; some Imperial Guards even died of exhaustion during the power transmission process!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, after arriving at Lanling City, the Green Frost Army had been constantly repairing and replacing new evil-suppressing weapons while simultaneously replenishing troops and retraining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have already returned to full strength and can operate the military formation normally.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenren Zheng replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ziheng looked at him: \"If I send the Green Frost Army to the southern border, can the capital be defended?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, both the Azure Sky Cavalry and the Green Frost Army, these two Imperial Guard units, were stationed outside Lanling City. With Wenren Zheng, a Martial Saint, present, they could ensure that even if the Buddhist faction sent all their peak powerhouses, it would be difficult to threaten the safety of Lanling City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if the Green Frost Army were sent away, Lanling City might not remain as secure as a fortress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, if the Green Frost Army were not sent, and only the Forbidden Army were dispatched, while drawing powerhouses from various regions to the southern border, there would be no guarantee of victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To quell the war in the southern border as quickly as possible, sending the Green Frost Army was the best choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Majesty, Jingheng of the Pudu Temple and the traitor Qin Mingli are both injured. Currently, the Buddhist faction can only send two Martial Saints. With me leading the Azure Sky Cavalry here, I can certainly ensure the stability of the capital!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenren Zheng provided his guarantee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. I intend to send the Green Frost Army on the expedition. What do you all think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ziheng had made his decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I second the motion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenren Zheng was the first to agree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Ze also seconded the motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei stood up and bowed with cupped hands:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Majesty, I am willing to go on the expedition with the Green Frost Army!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A trace of a smile finally appeared on Qin Ziheng’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Li Fei: \"The Marquis of Jing’an has such heart, and I am deeply gratified. However, the negotiations with the Western Lands delegation have not yet concluded, so there is no need for you to be in such a hurry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei felt somewhat regretful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three sat down again, and Qin Ziheng continued to ask:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grand Secretary, how are the results of the imitation of those new-style firearms sent by the Western Lands delegation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After receiving the new-style firearms, Ye Ze had immediately sent them to the Zhige Pavilion, letting the master blacksmiths who possessed divine abilities like [Refining Objects] dismantle and imitate the firearms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Zhige Pavilion has already successfully imitated one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Ze said, \"But the conclusion given by the New Martial Bureau is not optimistic; they believe that within three years, it will be very difficult for us to mass-produce these new-style weapons.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The New Martial Bureau was an agency established after the Mingxin Reform, subordinate to the Military Council, responsible for purchasing various gunpowder weapons from the Western Continent and dismantling and imitating them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The designs, craftsmanship plans, and so on for the several types of firearms and cannons currently produced independently by the Great Lan Dynasty all originated from the New Martial Bureau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Qin Ziheng’s expression sank: \"Three years! Haven't they already successfully imitated one? Why would it take so long?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Ze calmly explained:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Majesty, relying solely on a few masters to imitate those new-style weapons has little significance. They can imitate a few firearms, but they cannot forge tens of thousands of them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These masters imitate weapons by relying on divine abilities and techniques. But to mass-produce those weapons, the technical personnel below must truly master the knowledge of process design, metallurgy, mechanical manufacturing, chemistry, and other related fields.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We also need to cultivate a group of workers who are proficient in the relevant crafts, and we must establish factory production lines.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"None of these things can be accomplished in three or five days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Ze’s methodical explanation left Qin Ziheng speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei couldn't help but glance at the Grand Secretary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a transmigrator, he understood the difficulty of this even better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren't for the Mingxin Reform laying the foundation for the Great Lan Dynasty, mass-producing those new-style weapons from the Western Continent would be even more remote!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even this Grand Secretary, who had single-handedly led the Mingxin Reform, could not change the trend of the times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Western Continent, besides relying on bloodlines, the only path for upward mobility was scientific technology, which was also a path the nobles intentionally opened up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether one wants to rise to power or resist tyranny, developing technology is the only choice!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Eastern Continent focuses primarily on individual greatness, and the situation is completely different from the Western Continent; in the eyes of the vast majority, scientific technology is ultimately just a minor path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening, Qin Ziheng also completely lost interest in these new-style weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three years?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that time, he would rather look forward to Li Fei’s growth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Majesty, even if it takes more time, I believe we should increase investment. The new-style weapons brought by the Western Continent this time are already enough to threaten powerhouses at the Dao Foundation Realm; they cannot be underestimated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Ye Ze spoke, he presented a memorial, \"These are the twelve proposals I have written regarding the New Martial Bureau; please have a look, Your Majesty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ziheng took the memorial, and after reading a few lines, he immediately felt a headache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply put, it was asking for money, people, and status!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asking for money and people was easy enough to discuss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But raising the status of the relevant personnel involved interests from all sides, and the implications were too great.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cake was only so big;
