Transmigration begins with archery training

His energy permeates his entire body; how can they be the same?

Whether it's royalty or various prestigious families, no matter how bad they are, they won't be that bad. At least they will definitely have enough resources, not to mention their talents are all quite good.

In prestigious families, at least one parent is a high-level martial artist, and with the added advantage of wealth, each generation typically produces someone with decent talent, and with a bit of luck, even a genius.

Crossing the border is definitely challenging.

Moreover, for those at the Refining Organs realm, martial artists gain an additional special state called "Blood Burst," which provides an extremely powerful boost. Even if they cross a realm, they might not be able to win, let alone someone who has only mastered the technique and needs to reach at least the minor completion stage.

The only problem is that time is tight.

When war breaks out, the selection of vanguard officers from all over the country is brought forward, resulting in the selection of vanguard officers being carried out much earlier.

It would take him at least twenty days to achieve minor success in refining his internal organs.

Unless you can get more beast meat, especially exotic beast meat, and find someone to spar with you every day, day and night, you might be able to speed it up.

"Alright, let's go take a look first."

Chen Sanshi set off in a carriage with Sun Buqi.

It was the first time a man from the county had come to the city. On the way, he couldn't help but lift the carriage curtain to admire the street scene. When he passed through the bustling city center, he saw several notices on the carriage.

Two of them caught his attention.

The wanted poster from the Witch God Cult, and his eulogy for leading the people across the river.

Chen Sanshi asked, "Is there a Witch God Cult in Liangzhou City?"

"Naturally there is."

Sun Buqi leaned back in his seat, eating an unknown fruit, and said, "The Witch God Cult has been causing trouble everywhere for a long time. They are basically all over the world, and they are not all barbarians. They also have many followers in the Central Plains. It is difficult to distinguish them from their appearance. They hide in the shadows all day long, causing chaos and stirring up trouble."

"Take the Seven Absolutes Sect in Dongyi City for example. In my opinion, they are most likely the ones who stirred up trouble."

"Ah."

Chen Sanshi had actually heard long ago that the Witch God Cult was causing trouble everywhere. Poyang County didn't have it before the Xianbao incident because it wasn't worthy of it.

The area was too small and its strategic value was not great enough that even the Witch God Cult was too lazy to go there.

"besides."

Sun Buqi sat up straight and said solemnly, "The cultists in Liangzhou City specialize in killing martial artists. At first, they killed mostly those at lower levels, but later they killed those at higher levels. I heard that during the battle at the front, even the most talented disciple of Piyue Manor died."

"Kill a martial artist?"

Chen Sanshi thought to himself.

While the Witch God Cult sacrificed millions of people with their blood, they even dared to kill martial arts practitioners. What they held in their hands did not seem like divine treasures, but rather demonic objects, all of which required human lives as fuel.

"But don't worry."

Sun Buqi added, "Most of the dead were disciples of sects and martial arts practitioners. Few dared to attack the people of the Eight Great Camps. Moreover, after the battle, my father will have time to investigate thoroughly."

Back in Poyang County, several martial arts schools were using ordinary people as test subjects for drugs every day.

Now that they've arrived in Liangzhou, their sect has also become a target of persecution by the Witch God Cult.

"The matter of Amugu's disappearance..."

When the Witch God Cult is mentioned, Chen Sanshi can't help but think of this master who has reached the Meridian Opening Realm.

He was somewhat worried. Although he had said in front of five thousand cavalry that Amugu had been killed by Sun Xiangzong, and by a twist of fate the commander-in-chief had actually shown up later, there were still loopholes in the story.

If Sun Xiangzong had arrived at the destination earlier, there would have been no need for them to block the road, resulting in heavy casualties.

Fortunately, even if the Witch God Cult suspects him, they will not share this information with Sheng Chao.

If the emperor were to obtain the magical treasure, would he simply return it to the barbarians? They would have no choice but to investigate secretly.

The next step is simply to be more cautious.

Moreover, if there really is another one, Chen Sanshi, while ensuring his own safety, will try to capture one alive and ask him about the immortal treasure to see if it matches his guess.

"Three stones".

Sun Buqi interrupted his thoughts: "His Majesty has announced your achievements to the world, and today many people will probably want to befriend you."

"Ah."

Chen Sanshi nodded.

The banquet venue was called "Xianhelou," which could be considered the Babaolou of Liangzhou City. However, being a prefecture city, its level of luxury was naturally incomparable to that of a small county town.

Even so, the entire Xianhelou restaurant was booked out today.

The entire street was filled with all kinds of luxurious carriages, which showed the distinguished status of the people attending the banquet.

"Cough cough!"

Sun Buqi cleared his throat: "Sanshi, let me sort things out for you first. The people here today can be roughly divided into three groups."

"The first one is His Majesty's man."

"Secondly, it is His Highness the Crown Prince's people."

"Thirdly, there are people from prestigious families. Within these families, there are further divisions, with some people leaning towards one faction and others towards another."

This was no ordinary banquet; it was clearly a complex social gathering within the imperial court.

"You can still tell the difference."

Chen Sanshi remarked that people born into different circumstances naturally have different perspectives.

He really needed Sun Buqi with him, otherwise he would be completely lost inside, not recognizing anyone and having no idea how to deal with the situation.

"Can members of sects participate in the selection process?"

Chen Sanshi asked.

"Of course."

Sun Buqi replied, "The fields, medicinal gardens, and even mountains in various places are mostly occupied by powerful clans. They are needed to help with any military supplies, so naturally we should give them opportunities in return."

The phenomena of land annexation and class solidification could not possibly exist only in Poyang County.

This was true throughout the entire Great Sheng Dynasty.

If you want sects to cooperate obediently, you need to give them opportunities. Once they get a chance to become officials, their status will be more secure. If there are no restrictions, sects will become local tyrants.

Chen Sanshi couldn't help but recall reading historical anecdotes in his previous life. The founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu, the "chosen one," was able to achieve great things only because he received the support of powerful families in the Central Plains, just like Cao Xie had done.

During their conversation, the two entered the Crane Tower.

Upon entering, there was no noise, only the sound of quiet conversations and soft music. The people coming and going were all high-ranking officials and dignitaries; none of them were commoners.

Even among the elite warriors, only a few who had reached the level of organ refinement or above attended this banquet.

There are acquaintances.

Cao Fan and Yin Hanwen.

"Congratulations, Your Highness and Young Master Yin, on your great achievements in Yunzhou!"

"..."

"..."

"Brother Buqi has arrived?"

"Brother Buqi, it's been a long time!"

Many people came up to Sun Buqi and exchanged pleasantries: "Is this Lord Chen next to you?"

"Oh my, leading the people across the river, the whole world knows!"

"Lord Chen is so young, yet he has already gained His Majesty's favor. He is sure to rise rapidly in his career!"

"..."

Soon, a large circle of people surrounded Chen Sanshi.

Most of them were young sons of officials.

Sun Buqi introduced, "This is Lu Shuhua, the young sect master of the Tongtian Sword Sect."
