1789 Secluded Cultivation, Accumulating Strength

At this time, Chu Yunfan, who had just defeated Li Yu, gathered his army. Since there were only 500 people, they were quickly gathered together.

"Everyone, during the period that I wasn't here, I know a lot of people have spread unpleasant opinions. But in the end, they're just clowns who can't be seen in public." Chu Yunfan glanced at the crowd. "However, I'm very pleased with everyone's performance. You weren't swayed by the small fries. These are some medicinal pills that I've obtained, as well as these hundreds of Brahma Fruits. They'll be able to greatly increase your strength. Other people wish to send us to our deaths, but I feel that this is a good opportunity for us. In the next few days, I want everyone to go into seclusion to digest these pills and raise their cultivation to the Abstract Stage. Who says that a local garrison troop can't become one of the elite troops of Grand Xia? When the time comes, we'll give them a big surprise!"

When everyone heard Chu Yunfan's words, their hearts beat wildly. For soldiers like them who were originally at the bottom of the hierarchy, their lives were already destined. There was no possibility of any change. However, Chu Yunfan had pulled them out of the abyss of hell and given them dignity. From then on, no one would dare to look down on them. They were no longer the dogs of Baotai. On the contrary, they had become an existence that countless people in Baotai envied.

They had followed Chu Yunfan for a short time, but not only had they entered the Core Stage, but they had also entered the Golden Core Stage. If they cultivated on their own, they might not be able to reach the Golden Core Stage in their lifetime.

Now, Chu Yunfan not only provided enough pills but also countless cultivation methods and martial arts manuals. They had almost everything they wanted. They were not inferior to the disciples of ordinary small sects.

Now, Chu Yunfan was even going to help all of them break through to the Abstract Stage. This was something that they did not even dare to think about. In the original Baotai, any Abstract, even the weakest one, was a high and mighty figure that they had to look up to. They were above the level of ordinary people.

But now, they could enter that level. This was simply the best opportunity to bring glory to their ancestors and their families. No matter which general they followed, they wouldn't be able to get better opportunities or better conditions.

"General, you are too good to us. We swear that from now on, we will go through fire and water for you. If we violate this oath, we will die a horrible death!" You Chuyun shouted.

"General, you are too good to us. We swear that from now on, we will go through fire and water for you. If we violate this oath, we will die a horrible death!"

The other soldiers echoed this sentiment, and their momentum shook the camp slightly. It was different from before. Chu Yunfan knew that he had completely won the hearts of the soldiers.

Looking at the fanatical expressions on their faces, even the words of the king were not as effective as Chu Yunfan's words. After all, he had pulled them out of the abyss and gave them dignity.

"Thank you. In the future, everyone will naturally understand that as long as I, Chu Yunfan, don't die, everyone will soar in the future and bring glory to their ancestors sooner or later." Chu Yunfan nodded.

After his speech, Chu Yunfan distributed some of the pills that he had obtained, as well as 500 Brahma Fruits. These were enough to allow the Baotai soldiers to grow tremendously in a short period. However, these ordinary soldiers were not like Chu Yunfan. He had all kinds of fortuitous encounters, the help of the godhead, and the Alchemy Emperor's memories. He could quickly digest these things perfectly and turn them into his own power.

This would affect their future growth. The possibility of them reaching the peak in the future was too small. It was basically impossible. However, with their status and talent, it was almost impossible for them to cultivate to the Abstract Stage. Now, it seemed to have damaged their ability to reach the top in the future, but for them, this was an amazing fortuitous encounter.

Not everyone had the ability to ascend to the top. There were so many people in Grand Xia, and those with such potential were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns, one in a hundred thousand. With the pills and the Brahma Fruit that Chu Yunfan had given them, the Baotai garrison immediately entered a state of bitter cultivation.

There was a transfer order from the Ministry of War. It questioned where Chu Yunfan had been during this period and why he had left his post without permission. Of course, he knew that these questions had ill intentions. If he admitted that he had left his post without permission, the consequences would be unimaginable.

With the military orders of Grand Xia, it could be said that this was an extremely serious matter. As a general with no title, he might not only be dealt with, but also might face military punishment.

Of course, Chu Yunfan wasn't that stupid to say that his whereabouts were unknown. Instead, he threw out the head of first-level Cosmic monster to prove that his whereabouts weren't unknown. He said he went deep into the demon region to hunt down a Cosmic monster.

Cosmic monsters were on the must-kill list of Grand Xia. The head of every Cosmic monster was a great merit. No matter how it was obtained, Grand Xia only recognized the final military merit. It did not matter even if the person who exchanged it for military merit was a demon expert.

The head of the Cosmic monster that Chu Yunfan had handed over immediately resolved the Ministry of War's inquiry. He casually made up a story about the bizarre chase.

Some people in the Ministry of War didn't believe him, but they couldn't doubt him. After all, the head of a Cosmic monster was the best evidence. No matter how dissatisfied they were, they couldn't question it.

In the following period, Grand Xia's spring sweep operation against the demons continued. Unknowingly, the 500 soldiers of Baotai were cultivating hard. Every day, a large number of experts broke through from the Golden Core Stage to the Abstract Stage. The medicinal effects of the Brahma Fruit were astonishing. Their strength was naturally incomparable to Chu Yunfan's, but it was still the same Brahma Fruit that Chu Yunfan had consumed.

Because Chu Yunfan had set up a barrier, no one in the outside world knew about this.
