Transmigration begins with archery training

"..."

Bai Laoqi remained silent.

“Father is too biased, he has been biased ever since we were young.”

Bai Laowu said in a deep voice, "Apart from the second brother, the aptitudes of us brothers are not much different, but Father insisted that he had better character and made him the head of the family. The best resources are always in the hands of the head of the family. And what has happened? So many years have passed, has the eldest brother made any achievements in martial arts? I certainly can't see any hope of him condensing a golden body!"

"Ah~"

Bai Laoqi sighed, "We're all family, don't worry too much about personal gains and losses."

"Yes, you don't care, so the spot to go to Qingxu Sect didn't go to you."

Bai Laowu paused for a moment, then added, "And there's something you might not know... Father is dying."

……

After bidding farewell to Bai Linxun, Chen Sanshi returned to his cave dwelling.

His daily routine has returned to normal.

While continuously gathering intelligence, he also went into seclusion to diligently cultivate his skills.

Basically, one or two hours a day are spent controlling the puppets to handle Han Dynasty affairs, and two hours are spent practicing various skills.

Each month, a few days are set aside for refining elixirs.

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

"Guihe Dan" is an ancient elixir specifically designed for cultivators in the early stages of Foundation Establishment.

With its help, Chen Sanshi's cultivation on the path to immortality progressed rapidly.

[Cultivation Technique: Fire Swallowing Technique - Early Foundation Establishment Stage]

【Progress: 395/500】

At this rate, breaking through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage before the final period arrives is practically a certainty.

Two years is nothing more than a few seclusions or a fleeting moment for cultivators.

The situation in Beiyang Province has not changed much in the past two years.

Apart from the Shengyun Sect, the people from the other sects gradually dispersed, seemingly because they needed manpower in other places, indicating that the previous matter was left unresolved.

The demonic cultivators continue to capture living people for cultivation, and the scope is expanding. Recently, they have stopped targeting ordinary people altogether.

Even among the various cultivation families of Beiyang Road, and even the disciples of Shengyun Sect, people often suffer misfortune, causing widespread panic.

"call……"

Another day of cultivation came to an end. Chen Sanshi opened his eyes, slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and with a thought, he connected with his natal puppet in Tianyong City and began to handle government affairs remotely.

Basically every day, there would be a table full of memorials, and even using puppets, it would still take a lot of effort.

Especially after annexing Nanxu, the territory expanded, and naturally there were more people and things to manage. Moreover, the affairs of Dongqing were almost finished, and it wouldn't be long before it was incorporated into the territory of the Great Han.

Fortunately, Xu Wencai is still here; otherwise, he would be completely overwhelmed with many things.

Talk about it.

Chen Duhe, that rascal, had finally managed to correct his temper somewhat, but it seems he's gone a bit too far. He's stopped clamoring to become the crown prince and is now more obsessed with martial arts, showing little interest in politics.

Basically, it was only through Xu Wencai's forceful coaxing that they agreed to give up their martial arts training and learn to handle some matters.

It is now July of the fourteenth year of Tianwu.

Around this time last year, several major cases occurred in Nanxu. Chen Duhe went to handle them and did a fairly good job. However, he was still quite ruthless, and wherever he went, bloodshed ensued for those involved in the cases.

Some people may not deserve to die for this, but as long as it doesn't involve completely innocent people, there's no way to blame them, since it does have a deterrent effect.

"Yunmei."

Chen Sanshi manipulated the puppet and looked at a little girl in a cotton-padded jacket walking unsteadily in the Wujiang Palace, holding a flower with seven-colored spiritual light in her small hand.

This spiritual plant was grown in the Flower Medicine Palace.

The Earth Spirit Wisteria grows at an astonishing rate, transforming over ten acres of spiritual fields in just two years, and this number continues to expand.

Hearing someone call out, the little girl tilted her head and looked at the puppet. She was just over two years old and her speech was not yet very clear.

But after being told by her mother and empress, she realized that the wooden figure behind the table was her father, and she called out, "Father."

"hehe."

Chen Sanshi laughed and said, "Good girl, I heard you're quite mischievous. Even your imperial brother is afraid of you now."

"Yunmei!"

Sun Li, wearing a long dress, entered the hall and held the little girl in her arms: "Didn't your mother tell you not to come to the Wujiang Palace to bother your father unless it's necessary?"

"It doesn't matter."

Chen Sanshi said softly, "Senior Sister, you've worked hard taking care of Yunmei these past two years."

"I'm not tired."

Sun Li said, "It's just that my junior brother hasn't been back for more than two years, and Yunxi and Lan'er miss him a lot. If he has time, it would be better if he came back for a visit."

"As much as possible."

That was all Chen Sanshi could say.

A round trip between the two sides would take at least half a month, and with a slight delay, several dozen days would pass.

Given the current situation, he simply doesn't have the time.

If it were simply about spending time with family, Chen Sanshi would be willing to sacrifice some cultivation time. But now, there's the massive mountain of the Great Swamp Main Peak looming over him.

If there is no way to resolve this, then everything before us is nothing but a mirage, an illusion that cannot be retained.

After severing ties with the Boundless Palace, Chen Sanshi continued to focus on improving his strength, with his puppetry skills immediately breaking through to the second tier.

Just as he was about to break through in one go, a commotion suddenly arose outside the cave.

"Your Majesty, something happened."

The voice of Dongfang Jingxing, who was in charge of protecting the Dharma, rang out from outside the door.

"Om-"

Chen Sanshi raised his hand and waved, and the door to the cave opened: "Speak."

"In the back mountain."

Dongfang Jingxing said, "Just now, I didn't know what had happened."

Chen Sanshi immediately flew into the air.

Inside Twilight Valley, almost everyone was frantically gathering towards the back mountain.

Back Mountain...

If he remembered correctly, the Bai family patriarch's cave dwelling should be there.

"Come with me and take a look."

As Chen Sanshi spoke, he took the lead and flew towards the back mountain.

During the process, he was not stopped and finally saw that the crowd was indeed gathered outside the cave of the Bai family patriarch.

"Bai Ange, don't make a scene here. Your grandfather is in seclusion. What trouble could he possibly be causing?"

Bai Linxun picked up the strange-looking young man and strode into the cave.

Bai Laosi sternly rebuked the crowd who had rushed over upon hearing the commotion: "What are you all still doing here? If you disturb the Ancestor's seclusion, can you bear the responsibility?"
