Transmigration begins with archery training

The old eunuch spoke condescendingly.

Chen Sanshi stood up: "Please come in, sir. Mo Hua, please make some tea."

"Sir, there's no tea in the house..."

Mo Hua had never seen anything like this before. On his first day of "working," he received an imperial edict, containing thousands of taels of silver. It was terrifying, and he trembled with fear.

“Father-in-law, I just moved here, and the house is really empty.”

Chen Sanshi said, "It might be a shame for you to drink plain water, Father-in-law."

"Master, there's no water either..." Siqin said timidly, "We haven't even bought firewood or tea sets yet..."

"Alright, alright, let's not go inside. Let's talk here."

The chief eunuch stopped in front of the entrance hall, sighed and said, "My family name is Hou, and I am the military supervisor of the three northwestern prefectures, in charge of all military forces. You can call me Eunuch Hou directly."

Chen Sanshi asked, "What are your instructions, Eunuch Hou?"

Military supervisor.

The one in charge was naturally Sun Xiangzong, who must have held a very high position in the palace.

"You were only appointed as a fifth-rank Flying Cavalry Captain, and you've already been promoted to a third-rank Upper Light Cavalry Captain so quickly, far exceeding the rank you should have earned for your internal organ cultivation level."

Eunuch Hou dragged his feet and emphasized, "Lord Chen, do you understand what this means?"

"Your Majesty's grace will be forever etched in my heart and I will never forget it!"

Chen Sanshi said, enunciating each word clearly, "I will never forget it!"

"Well, you're quite clever!"

Eunuch Hou waved his hand, signaling his eunuchs to bring up the imperial wine: "Lord Chen, do not disappoint His Majesty's wishes."

[Antidote for the Blood Poison Dew]

Chen Sanshi picked up the imperial wine and drank it all in one gulp.

Continuing to poison them is not a solution.

Because over time the poison will eventually take effect, you can't just use a slow-acting poison and reward the ruler with food and drink every now and then. Even a fool would notice something was wrong, and it would only increase the rift between the ruler and his subjects.

Instead of poisoning people, we should offer a generous reward; this would be more effective in winning their hearts.

If Chen Sanshi hadn't known the medicine was poisonous from the start using his "Seeing the Medicine, Knowing the Prescription" skill, and hadn't also learned about the inside story of Yunzhou by chance, he probably would have really thought this was a benevolent and wise ruler, and thus been grateful.

The methods emperors used to control their people!

"it is good."

Eunuch Hou watched him drink the wine and smiled, "Lord Chen will be staying at the Governor's Mansion to select the best soldiers, so..."

"Don't worry, Father-in-law."

Chen Sanshi quickly replied, "No matter where I am, I will always remember that I am a subject of the Great Sheng Dynasty, and a subject of Your Majesty."

"You're a smart guy, I like you! Alright, there's no tea, and certainly no wine or food, so I'll be leaving now."

Hou Gonggong left satisfied.

The others helped move the things into the Chen residence before they dared to leave.

Close the gate of the house.

Chen Sanshi immediately took out the Refining Organs Elixir and began cultivating.

With thousands of taels of gold and silver, plus a thousand bolts of silk, it would certainly be enough for him to use for a while.

But what's truly valuable is the precious medicine!

Once one's cultivation reaches the level of organ refinement, the medicines required can no longer be measured in monetary terms.

Truly precious medicinal herbs are priceless, as they have extremely demanding requirements for the years and growing environment. This is why even the best-preserved medicinal herbs from Poyang County are considered to be at their limit.

Even in the Eight Great Camps, precious medicines weren't available to just anyone who wanted them.

Because the Eight Great Camps were constantly being relocated, they had no fixed assets of their own. All military supplies had to be provided by the imperial court, plus local support, to sustain them.

Fortunately, I won't be lacking for the time being.

After checking that the medicine was safe, Chen Sanshi swallowed it and used its powerful effects to practice shooting.

Thirty precious medicines are enough to sustain him until he reaches the Transformation Realm!

The combined value is well over a thousand pieces of gold.

[Technique: Unity Spear Technique (Mastery)]

【Progress: 288/1000】

With the addition of Linghe, the efficiency of skill improvement is astonishing!

Logically speaking, after entering the organ refining stage, the speed of cultivation improvement should definitely become slower and slower.

But he was confident that he could break through to the minor stage of organ refining within a month.

Chen Sanshi originally planned to go into seclusion.

But the next day, his house became lively.

Invitations poured in from gentry, prominent families, and clansmen, as well as officials of all ranks. The Chen residence was bustling with activity, with a constant stream of visitors.

Such a grand ceremony, bestowed by imperial decree, indicates a promising future even if the official is not from the capital. It's understandable that people would want to befriend him.

Chen Sanshi did not refuse.

In the future, the resources needed for cultivation will increase, and we may need to rely on certain sources.

It's just for now; I simply can't make it all.

"Three stones!"

That noon, Chen Sanshi practiced shooting in the yard after lunch.

Sun Buqi came to the door: "Come on, I've come to invite you to the banquet on their behalf. It's the selection banquet, you have to go."

"A selection banquet?"

Taking the opportunity, Chen Sanshi asked, "Perfect timing, tell me about the specific procedures for selecting forwards?"

Soon, with Sun Buqi's explanation, he basically understood the process.

The selection process was divided into two main categories: reserve military officers and reserve generals.

There are age restrictions for those who can participate in the selection process.

Within a specified age range, those who reach the level of "Refining Organs" or above can participate in the selection of reserve generals.

In addition, each selection of disciples will recruit eight inner disciples, but only one chief disciple will be accepted!

There are always five assessment questions.

I. Formation.

II. Breaking Through the Formation.

Third, going into battle, which means actual combat.

IV. Martial Arts Competition.

Fifth, determine the upper limit based on the root strength, and then decide how much resources to invest based on the upper limit.

The rigorous examinations were essentially another martial arts examination.

The difference is that after passing the assessment, they will be directly retained to serve in the Eighth Battalion and receive martial arts instruction from Sun Xiangzong.

"Sanshi, this year is the most difficult one yet."

Sun Buqi sighed and said, "The Yin Hanwen and Cao Fan you met last time, even the grandson of Grand Secretary Yan, are here, as well as the young sect leader of the Tongtian Sword Sect in Liangzhou, the disciples of Piyue Manor, and so on and so forth..."

"Most of them have reached the peak of organ cultivation!"

"Moreover, because everyone arrived exceptionally early this year, the selection process will officially begin in ten days!"

"Sanshi, have you just mastered the internal organ refining technique?"

“These people are different from your previous opponents. Each of them has a special physique and would be invincible in their own realm anywhere in the martial world. You will probably find it very difficult to defeat them across realms.”

In Chen Sanshi's opinion

Let's put these aside for now.

What he cares about is that there can only be one chief disciple!

Not only was he among the last batch of selected disciples, but he was also the last chief disciple. The implications of this are self-evident.

Immortal arts.

Only by becoming the sole true disciple can one possibly come into contact with the method to break through to the realm beyond Martial Saint!

"If that's the case..."

"I really have to get first place."

Chen Sanshi also knew that people from prestigious families were definitely different from those from poor, remote places like Poyang County.

Take the Blood Refining Realm as an example.

Most people in Poyang County are simply defined by the word "big".
