Chapter 2114 Changes in March, Martial Arts Grandmaster!

Lin Tianhao smiled and shook his head, saying, "Not yet, but this is just being prepared."

"Have!"

Dugu Moxue nodded emphatically, "My Dugu family's Dugu Sword Inquiry Technique can not only be cultivated to the level of a martial arts grandmaster, but can even reach the legendary martial arts myth, the realm of a terrestrial immortal."

Hearing Dugu Moxue's words, Lin Tianhao was slightly taken aback, "You...your Dugu family has such a deep foundation? But why..."

Dugu Moxue sighed and said with some helplessness:

"The Dugu Sword Technique is of a high grade and has a high upper limit, but it also requires an astonishingly high level of cultivation talent."

"One needs a deep understanding of swordsmanship to properly cultivate the Dugu Sword Inquiry Technique."

Lin Tianhao nodded secretly; this didn't seem to be a problem for him.

"Could you... teach me the Dugu Sword Technique?" Lin Tianhao asked.

Dugu Moxue hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said:

"The Dugu Sword Technique can only be practiced by members of the Dugu family."

"If this gets out... the consequences will be very serious."

"However, our Dugu family has long since declined, and this serious consequence is at most a pang of conscience for me."

That’s it.

Dugu Moxue hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"If you, my lord, truly wish to learn the Dugu Sword Technique, we can become sworn brothers. You will be the elder brother, and I will be the younger brother. This way, you will also be considered a member of our Dugu family, and there will be no problem with me teaching you the Dugu Sword Technique."

Lin Tianhao's eyes lit up. This cultivation method could lead to becoming a terrestrial immortal, but all it required was to become sworn brothers. That was not bad.

"it is good."

Lin Tianhao hesitated for only a moment before agreeing.

Subsequently.

Lin Tianhao and Dugu Moxue swore brotherhood in front of a group of soldiers, which greatly increased the soldiers' recognition of Lin Tianhao.

After all, no matter what, their feelings for Dugu Moxue were real, and over the years, Dugu Moxue had led them and given them a lot of help.

"Tonight, I swore brotherhood with the lord, and everyone here is a witness. The lord has just said that tomorrow we will expand the recruitment of soldiers, recruiting two thousand new soldiers!"

Although Lin Tianhao's business is booming, supporting so many people all at once is still a challenge.

"Okay, okay, okay!!"

Recruiting another two thousand people would mean that two families in Moxue Territory would not go hungry.

The military camp provides food and lodging, and the military pay is enough to feed a family of three without much trouble.

The next day.

Recruiting has begun, and with last night's great victory, there are many people eager to sign up.

Lin Tianhao also arranged for someone to send a message to Bi Chenggong and his team, informing them that the next step was to relocate the industrial base here.

There's an old monster in Beiwang City that he can't afford to mess with, so he'll just develop slowly here.

at the same time.

Lin Tianhao also saw the Dugu Wenjian Manual.

The Dugu Sword Technique is quite profound, but Lin Tianhao still finds it easy to practice.

Perhaps this is related to Lin Tianhao's extremely high level of swordsmanship before, which makes his current cultivation very smooth.

The next month.

There were no barbarians attacking, not even a single small force harassing them.

This rare period of peace, coupled with previous victories, has led to an improvement in the business environment of Mo Xue Territory.

Many vendors started trading here; all of this was money!

Because anyone carrying goods in or out of the city has to pay a fee, this is why border wars often lead to increasing poverty.

Once war breaks out, fewer merchants will come and go, resulting in less tax revenue. Coupled with the losses incurred during the war, the situation in border cities will only worsen.

Now that merchants are starting to trade, Mo Xue Ling's tax revenue has increased. In addition, Mo Xue Ling has its own industries, so although it is not quite enough, Lin Tian Hao's need for subsidies has also decreased significantly.

In the blink of an eye.

Two more months have passed.

Lin Tianhao suddenly opened his eyes, his body radiating sword energy, and a smug smile appeared on his face.

"Is this what a martial arts grandmaster is like?"

In just three months, he went from a first-rate martial artist to a martial arts grandmaster. If word got out, many people would probably be astonished.

In the past three months, in addition to Lin Tianhao's improvement in cultivation level, the number of soldiers in Mo Xue Territory has recovered to 15,000. Mo Xue Territory is also thriving, with merchants coming and going more and more frequently, and the population has increased from 1.8 million to 1.85 million.

Don't underestimate these 50,000 people. In a border city, a population increase of 50,000 in three months is already quite alarming.

"I wonder when those barbarians will come back."

Now that he has broken through to the Martial Arts Grandmaster level, Lin Tianhao feels that he should do something.

However, it's not suitable to take the initiative for the time being, so he needs to find another way.

In the past three months, Lin Tianhao's business headquarters has been established here, and the bandits he had previously subdued have also been brought over.

These bandits are still under Lin Tianhao's control in the Northern Mang Mountains, but now they belong to the Mo Xue Territory.

Today, the leaders of these mountain strongholds have established strongholds in the Northern Mang Mountains.

Under Lin Tianhao's planning, these mountain strongholds formed a defensive line.

More importantly, the Heavenly Star Technique has become widespread, and most soldiers have cultivated a little bit of internal energy. Although they are not even third-rate, the internal energy nourishes their bodies, and their physique has been improved to a certain extent.

After three months of development, Moxueling is becoming more and more like what it used to be.

of course.

These bandits are no longer officially bandits, but border guards. They have become more organized and have been dispersed and managed by Lin Tianhao.

It's relatively easy to manage these one or two thousand bandits who are scattered among an army of over ten thousand.

More importantly, most of these bandits were refugees who went to become bandits. Now that Lin Tianhao has given them official positions and military pay, they don't have much of a desire to resist.

The reason for hiring these bandits is that they have a better understanding of the Northern Mang Mountains and are more experienced in living in the mountains and building strongholds.

With the defense line established by the bandits, Lin Tianhao also arranged for refugees to enter the mountains to cultivate the land. Although they could not grow food, it was still easy to grow vegetables.

This model also attracted many migrants to reclaim wasteland and settle in the mountains.

With border guards present, they have nothing to fear from wolves, tigers, and leopards attacking them.

And so, small towns began to take shape in the Northern Mang Mountains, and mountain roads were opened up.

The entire Mo Xue Territory is gradually getting back on track.

Lin Tianhao gazed in the direction of the Northern Mang Dynasty, also wanting to know when the Northern Mang Dynasty would make any new moves.

however.

Lin Tianhao did not receive an attack from the barbarians of the Northern Mang Dynasty, but instead received other uninvited guests.

"Brother, someone from the imperial court has come and wants to see you."
