Chapter 78: Temptation
"Fifth sister, we Taoist qi refiners, can't we get something for nothing? My father may not be able to afford you what you want. Do you know the reason?" Su Jing felt very patient, after all, his soul is a person who is almost forty years old.
Su Mu snorted and said, "Father strictly controls our elixirs, materials, and money, but I don't control you. If you really want it, you can withdraw it in the treasury, and the amount is second only to your mother. Why don't your father spend time on you?"
"But over the years, I would rather cheat with friends outside than use this power." Su Jing answered Su Mu, but felt a little apology in his heart. It turned out that although the reputation of Xiaoyao Houzi was unbearable, deep down, he was indeed not a bad boy.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have just a pile of rags on his body, not even a few pills. Perhaps it was because the prince had no hope of becoming an immortal and deliberately ruined his reputation and told his father not to waste his time anymore?
Xiaoyao Hou Prince can use his power to take a lot of things in the treasury and squander it at will. What can you cheat outside? The best thing is just a magic weapon.
No wonder, after the blood dragon transformation of his magic weapon after the bone refining, the master will continue the bloodline inheritance of Xiaoyao Hou. If he owes Xiaoyao Hou, at least he must give birth to a qualified son for the Su family.
Su Mu really has nothing to say. Su Jing does have a lot of power and convenience, but he himself has not used these things. After all, the third brother is no wonder about Huang Ting Shenyu's affairs. It's just that such a good Taoist weapon was wasted. She was unhappy and couldn't vomit.
"It's not impossible for you to want my support." Su Jing changed his mouth. After all, if he wanted to open a house, he needed a lot of people. His brothers and sisters were of course the most reliable group of people.
If these people betray themselves, they will inevitably be unwilling to the family behind them, and there will be no possibility of becoming an immortal again.
Su Mu's eyes lit up, and he did it right upright, waiting for Su Jing to write. Her rules looked much more pleasing to her. Su Musheng was originally beautiful, but now she raised her head and looked rounded with her shoulders, slender neck, and there was no feeling of arrogance between her eyebrows and eyes.
"After I joined Yulin, it was almost the time when Your Majesty began to send troops to the Kingdom of Evil God to test. The real war would not start. At most, it was to harass the outside world of the Kingdom of Evil God to see how powerful the Kingdom of Evil God is. I will obtain enough military merits and take charge of a battalion of troops in this operation. At most ten years, Dong Qin will be ready to launch this war. In ten years, you should be at the peak of foundation building, right?"
Su Mu nodded and said, "If the third brother can support me, I can do it."
"I will pay the money at that time and you will establish the first battalion yourself, but it must be under my command and belong to my name."
Seeing Su Mu frowning, Su Jing said, "Your appeal, the soldiers of the first battalion can no longer expand. If under my name, as long as the war goes well on my side, I will sooner or later gather ten large battalions. And I will not be separated from my military status in the Yulin. At that time, what I can expand into is actually yours."
Su Mu pondered that the organization of the Eastern Qin Empire was a battalion of 12,000 to 16,000 people. More than ten battalions were a legion. The largest size of the legion would not exceed thirty battalions.
Su Jing was right. His fame and identity were the limit to commanding a battalion. The title of marquis was just a third wait for about the fourth rank. Such a title, coupled with military merit, was just a reward for a spiritual pool.
At that time, you will have many Qi Refiners under your command. This spiritual pool is also a means of rewarding your opponents, and you cannot use it day and night.
If it is a legion, it is different. Even if you are Su Jing's deputy, you can still get rewards from two spiritual pools. If you are two spiritual pools, you will have hope of upgrading to the golden elixir. Your subsequent practice will be smoother. Moreover, if you are Su Jing's subordinate, you will be less responsible for the rewards from the entire legion. One of these two spiritual pools is completely owned by you.
It doesn’t matter if you can’t be independent. If you can be granted a second-class waiting and then add an official position, you will be above the fourth-class official. Once you become a third-class official, you can be released and take charge of the territory of the first mansion.
Su Mu's heart became eager, and she nodded slowly and said, "What kind of support can you give me?"
"The Qi Refiners who defect to you and me have talisman armor refined by 360 talismans, which is the basic configuration. The martial arts powerhouses all have standard equipment equivalent to the elite of the empire. I will buy the food and grass, and you can be responsible for commanding the war."
The biggest reason why the Eastern Qin Empire was prosperous was that it was never short of food. Even if a war was launched, the price of food would not fluctuate. As long as the war was carried out abroad, it would not affect the cultivation of the people in the empire.
The talisman armor refined by 360 talismans is the treatment of disciples of the Taoist Palace. The core disciples of the Taoist Palace all have 3,600 useless talismans to refine talisman armor. It is impossible for the disciples of the Taoist Palace to defect to Su Mu. The ones she can recruit are all casual cultivators. If you have a set of talisman armor, it is already thankful.
"In these ten years, I will use my authority to exchange elixirs in the warehouse to serve as a reward for qi refiners. Among the casual cultivators, there will be no golden elixirs that rely on you, the highest is just qi refiners in the foundation-building stage."
"How do you buy the equipment of ordinary soldiers?"
Su Jing said: "I'll go and tell my mother and ask the Yuan family for support."
Su Jing certainly knew what Su Mu was worried about. She was not born by Yuan Linghong. Even though she knew that the Yuan family produced all kinds of exquisite weapons, she could not speak. It would be different for Su Jing to go. The army of this battalion belonged to Su Jing's name. As the deputy, she was just an executor.
Yuan Linghong will inevitably support her son, and it is possible to even half sell and half give away takeout loans.
The Yuan family is also willing to support the prince of Xiaoyaohou, so that the relationship between the two families will be closer. If they recruit soldiers in their own name, the Yuan family will not give this treatment.
After thinking through these things, Su Mu suddenly felt that his third brother was not that useless.
"San brother, can you build a foundation?" Su Mu's temperament asked this directly. After all, if he didn't have a certain strength in the army, it would be difficult to convince the public. Besides, there will be an existence like a Qi Refiner among the enemy. The head coach is too weak, so it will be troublesome to be beheaded.
"Ten years are OK." Su Jing told the truth. It was impossible for him to build a foundation before entering the Yulin.
Realm is realm, and tactics are warfare. It is not a good thing to improve your strength and speed too fast. The period of time I wasted before was still insufficient. Now even if the realm is advanced, I am still far from my ability to fight.
When you meet the strong, you will be weak, and when you meet the weak, you will be strong. It doesn’t matter if you have Xiaoyao Hou as your backer in Yujing City. If you really lead the troops to fight, it depends entirely on your own ability.
Su Mu's brows gradually relaxed. Although ten years of foundation building were too slow in her heart, it was enough. Among the imperial army, there were few Qi Refiners in the Golden Elixir realm in charge of the legion. How could the Qi Refiners in the Golden Elixir realm spend so much energy?
Generally speaking, people in the Foundation Establishment Realm are in charge of a legion, and there are Jindan Qi Refiners as guards. The person in charge of a legion must be a nobleman and has a huge backer behind him. Otherwise, how could Qi Refiners in the Jindan Realm be a bodyguard for you?
Qi Refiners in the Golden Pill Realm are all civilians who are born in the past and cannot convince the public without absolute strength.
If a person like Su Jing is in charge of the legion, he can only reach the foundation-building stage. After all, two giants standing behind him are two giants of the Yuan family and the Su family.
If the realm is lower, no matter how noble the identity is, it will not work. Because the enemy has too many methods to kill a qi refiner in the innate stage silently. As long as you pay enough money, you can succeed with cursed means.
"San brother, I will be your deputy. When will I be able to go out independently?" Su Mu's words were really not tactful at all.
Su Jing said: "After I open the mansion, I will help you. It will not be good for you if you leave too early. After all, under my command, you can still get the support of the Yuan family."
Su Jing simply made it clear that Xiaoyao Hou and his wife would have a lot of support for themselves, and it would be impossible for Su Mu to reach this level.
"San brother, you won't open a house in a few hundred years, right?" Su Mu was worried, because generally speaking, aristocratic families like Su Jing and others would basically not leave their family without the realm of Golden Pills. And Su Jing can only build a foundation ten years later, so the realm of Golden Pills will have to wait for hundreds of years?
Seeing Su Jing smile and silent, Su Mu said, "It's better to just listen to me. Marrying a princess can help you spend a hundred years less time."
Su Jing smiled and said, "I don't like any princess now. After my coming-of-age ceremony, she will probably feel disgusted when she sees me. This kind of thing is not something you can think of."
Su Mu smiled strangely and said, "Third Brother, this kind of thing is not something you can refuse if you want to. Otherwise, how could I mention it to you? I heard from Princess Wuyou that His Majesty the Emperor intends to give a marriage. If you don't know how to praise you, you will basically have no hope of entering Yulin in the future and want to make achievements."
Su Jing's brows immediately locked.
The emperor wants to give a marriage? What I fear most is that Xiaoyao Hou agrees to this kind of thing. If Xiaoyao Hou asks him for his opinion, he will have the right to choose.
"Stern brother, don't worry, Princess Wuyou is more beautiful than me, has a gentle temperament than me, is quite talented, and has a very high level of Qi cultivation..."
"But I don't want to rely on any princess." Su Jing's words made Su Mu's impression of him improve a lot. Princess Wuyou is the daughter of His Majesty the Emperor, otherwise she would not have been enfeoffed as soon as she became an adult. Moreover, Princess Wuyou's mother is also from a good background. If she can marry her, it is a conservative saying that she will struggle for a hundred years less.
