After handing it over to the system, the three brothers knelt down and begged for forgiveness

"Relax, go back and reflect on it, and you will succeed next time."

Zhao Gang raised his head and looked at Nan Qiao's sincere and encouraging eyes. The feeling of loss in his heart faded a little. He nodded slightly and replied, "Hey, thank you Miss Nan Qiao for your encouragement. I will try again."

After the sermon, Colonel Zhang began to arrange the distribution of spirit stones to everyone.

Under his instructions, a team of well-trained soldiers quickly took action and set up a table for distributing spirit stones in an orderly manner in an open area.

Two thousand soldiers who came to practice were now lined up in neat rows, waiting quietly and orderly to receive their gifts.

The team was like a long dragon, winding but not messy. Everyone's face still showed the excitement of successfully drawing the qi into the body or a little expectation of success if they had not yet succeeded.

The soldiers in charge of the distribution were quick and precise. They took out the spirit stones that emitted a faint spiritual glow from the wooden boxes filled with spirit stones. After carefully checking the quantity, they handed them to the soldiers who came to receive them one by one.

The soldiers who received the spirit stones had a flash of surprise in their eyes and carefully put them away. The spiritual energy in this world is thin, and these spirit stones are the only thing that can help them practice.

The team moved forward slowly, and two thousand people came forward one after another. The whole distribution process was quiet and orderly, without any noise or chaos. Only the occasional footsteps and the subtle sounds of spirit stones being handed over could be heard, playing a different song of order in this place of cultivating immortals.

Seeing this, Nan Qiao touched her chin and sighed. Even though she brought back a lot of spiritual stones, magic weapons, spiritual herbs and flowers, it still couldn't change the fact that the spiritual energy in this world was thin.

It would be great if the entire Lingyu Mountain could be filled with rich spiritual energy.

I’ll see if there’s a chance next time I travel to another world.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, Nan Qiao had spent a month at the Lingyu Mountain training base.

During this month, the selected people practiced hard day and night under Nan Qiao's careful guidance.

At first, the difficulties of drawing Qi into the body were overcome one by one by everyone, and as the practice deepened, the enthusiasm for progress did not diminish in the slightest.

Now everyone has successfully reached the first level of Qi Refining. A faint spiritual light emanates from their bodies, and their every move and gesture has the demeanor of a cultivator.

What is even more surprising is that there are several outstanding people among this group of people. With their extraordinary understanding and unremitting efforts, they have already broken through to the second level of Qi Refining.

The fluctuations of spiritual energy on his body became more obvious, and his eyes were more lively.

Lin Yue made rapid progress under Nan Qiao's careful guidance.

She immersed herself in cultivation day and night, not missing any opportunity to comprehend spiritual power.

Finally, just yesterday, she successfully broke through to the second level of Qi Refining.

Lin Yue's figure is now becoming more and more light, and he seems to be accompanied by a breeze when he moves. The spiritual power in his body flows freely, and he has a deeper understanding of the way of cultivating immortals.

The entire Lingyu Mountain training base seemed to be infused with vigorous vitality due to the improvement of everyone's cultivation, and was filled with the joyful atmosphere of successful cultivation.

At noon when the sun was shining brightly, Nan Qiao was discussing his cultivation experiences with Zhao Gang in a quiet place at the Lingyu Mountain training base when they saw Colonel Zhang rushing over with a serious face.

Colonel Zhang's brows were tightly furrowed, his usual composure was gone, and his eyes were filled with solemnity and anxiety.

He walked over to Nan Qiao and Zhao Gang, took a deep breath, and then lowered his voice and said, "Miss Nan Qiao, Director Zhao, I have a very difficult matter to discuss with you."

He paused, then described with a serious expression: "A few terrorists sneaked in from across the border. These guys are very cunning. Not only are they armed with guns, they also carry grenades, but they are disguised as ordinary civilians."

"We're in a dilemma now. We don't dare conduct a large-scale search. Firstly, we're afraid of causing panic among the public. If this causes chaos, the consequences will be disastrous. Secondly, we're afraid of alerting the criminals, giving them the opportunity to escape or commit even more insane acts."

"So, this situation is urgent, and we really need your help, Miss Nan Qiao. With your abilities, you might be able to resolve these dangerous factors without alerting others."

After Colonel Zhang finished speaking, he looked at Nan Qiao with anticipation, as if he had placed all his hopes on her.

After hearing this, Nan Qiao did not make a decision in a hurry, but looked at Zhao Gang.

Zhao Gang also had a serious expression on his face, fully aware of the seriousness of the matter. He thought for a moment before saying, "This matter is indeed difficult, but it is an opportunity for the soldiers of Lingyu Mountain."

Zhao Gang continued, "Miss Nan Qiao, I've been thinking about taking a few of the most advanced soldiers with me to the border."

"Those soldiers who have reached the second level of Qi Refining, like Lin Yue and his companions, have already begun to glimpse the path of immortal cultivation and are in need of opportunities for actual combat experience."

"Although this incident is difficult, with you by their side to protect them, they will be able to experience the true crisis firsthand and gain experience in dealing with danger. This will undoubtedly be of great benefit to their future cultivation."

When Colonel Zhang heard this, a thoughtful glint flashed in his eyes. He nodded slightly and said, "Director Zhao's suggestion is feasible."

"Although these soldiers from Lingyu Mountain train diligently on a daily basis, they lack actual combat experience."

"If we can follow Miss Nan Qiao on this journey, it will not only help us solve this urgent problem, but also allow them to be tempered. It is really a win-win situation."

Nan Qiao lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, weighing the pros and cons of the matter in his mind.

These terrorists are vicious and could endanger everyone's safety if they are not careful, but what Zhao Gang said is not without reason. Those soldiers do need actual combat experience to further grow.

Besides, with her around, she was confident that she could protect everyone.

Thinking of this, Nan Qiao raised his eyes, his expression solemn yet firm, and slowly said, "Then I'll listen to Uncle Zhao Gang. I'll take Sister Lin Yue and a few soldiers with higher cultivation levels with me to the border."

"But everyone must be extremely cautious this time. All actions must follow my instructions and you must not act rashly."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gang and Colonel Zhang showed a hint of relief on their faces.

Colonel Zhang quickly responded, "Of course. Soldiers absolutely obey orders."

"Don't worry, Miss Nan Qiao. I'll make arrangements right away. Have Lin Yue and the others get ready. They'll leave with you immediately."

After saying that, Colonel Zhang hurried away to arrange related matters.

Zhao Gang looked at Nan Qiao with admiration and said slowly, "Miss Nan Qiao, you have really changed a lot since you returned from that immortal cultivation world last time."

"Before, you always seemed timid and timid when doing things, and you would tremble with fear when encountering any problems. But now it's completely different."
