Chapter 683 - 219 Plotting_5
There were also many flying artifacts.
Chen Sansi picked and chose, eventually stowing a leaf-shaped flying artifact in his storage bag, planning to save it for his future use. The remaining items
could also be selected for Ning Xiang and others when he returned.
As for elixir pills, there were a few Clear Spirit Pills, but no higher-grade ones.
After all, the higher the grade, the more precious they are, and cultivators who buy them usually consume them immediately. After arriving at the Eastern Continent, there was no chance to cultivate, nor was there any need to carry them.
Then,
it was the Cultivation Techniques.
The Sect's techniques were forbidden to be passed on, and cultivators wouldn't carry them on their person.
However, Loose Cultivators were an exception.
Chen Sansi found two sets of techniques on the elderly cultivator he had killed in the West Qi Vanguard Army.
One was "Golden Yuan Skill," unfortunately only Qi Refining Technique, which he couldn't use after his Fire Spirit Root had fully advanced and he reached Foundation Establishment.
The other was "Sword Control Technique," applicable to all spirit root attributes and mainly suitable for Sword Cultivators. It wasn't much use to him, though it seemed it might be suitable for the simpleton.
What interested Chen Sansi the most was a set of talisman arts left by Han Xiang, called "True Talisman Manual," which contained many talisman drawing methods of the entire First Rank and even some materials and a talisman pen. He could start learning when he found the time.
It's better to be skilled than unskilled.
Without affecting the progress of cultivation, it was naturally better to learn as many diverse immortal arts as possible.
As for the rest of the items, such as Han Xiang's chessboard and Zou Hu's Mighty Vajra Ring, etc.
Chen Sansi also packed them up. If there was really no use for them, he could find an opportunity to sell them all at the black market later for a substantial income of Spirit Stones.
After sorting the items, dawn had just broken.
He then prepared to descend the mountain and return to the military camp.
It was at this moment.
A blue bird landed on his arm carrying a sealed letter from the Capital City.
Chen Sansi slowly opened it. After reading the contents on the letter, despite practicing the Fire Breathing Technique, an icy chill radiated from him.
It was the reply from his fourth senior brother, Fang Qingyun.
It was only six characters long.
"Return home first, plan later."
Without a denial, it already explained everything.
While he was fore fighting, it was one thing to receive no support from the rear, but to be backstabbed, to have him and the several hundred thousand troops ambushed at Guan Du!
And the purpose.
Without a second thought, Chen Sansi knew what it was.
Foundation Establishment Pills!
Weren't these cultivators fighting to the death for Foundation Establishment Pills?
At that time, seeing Guan Du about to fail, it was almost certain that someone in the Capital City, fearing they couldn't negotiate benefits from the Shengyun Sect, betrayed them, trading with Luoye Valley for Foundation Establishment Pills.
Just like the Ten Days in Yunzhou!
Chen Sansi had no choice but to flee from Po Yang with his brothers and tens of thousands of civilians.
He had been betrayed again.
In the eyes of Cao Kai, everything in the world was his personal treasury, ready to be exchanged for his cultivation resources whenever needed.
If it happened once or twice, it could happen three or four times!
The breakthrough to Foundation Establishment needed Foundation Establishment Pills, and who knows what else might be needed next time another bottleneck is met!
Absurd!
Even a family's dog, when dead, would leave normal people grieving deeply.
Let alone.
They were selling their lives at the front!
"Boom!"
True Power surged.
Flames burned.
The letter turned to ashes.
Chen Sansi's pupils also glowed red, and only after a long while did they extinguish. He stepped down the mountain and returned to the city.
He estimated.
Soon after.
His military authority would be removed, replaced by more cultivators to take over the troops at Mang Mountain.
Moreover, there was a shortage of food and fodder in the West Territory.
Chen Sansi here couldn't make much difference.
If the food supplies in Wu City had been kept, they would have faced a fierce counterattack from the West Qi Army. Hunger causes a cornered beast to fight, that's why half was burnt, to minimize the casualties.
To have one less death, was to save a life.
The most crucial point.
Sun Li, Chen Yunxi, and nearly a hundred others from the Governor Mansion were still in Liangzhou...
The senior brother was right.
Return home first, then plan.
As expected.
As soon as Chen Sansi returned to the camp, Zhao Kang approached him, "Sir, two 'Immortal Masters' have arrived, holding orders from the Ministry of War."
"I understand."
He calmly entered the city.
In front of the Central Army Tent, the supervising eunuch Guo Fengjie had been waiting for a long time. Six cultivators were standing behind him, all in the Perfect Realm.
Among them.
Were Wang Jun, Qu Yuanxiang...
The rest four had arrived successively after the war ended.
Among them, two of them, one surpassing the 12th Layer of Qi Refining, presumably the 14th Layer, another was a Martial Cultivator in the Early Stage of True Power.
"Champion Marquis Chen Sansi listen to the order!"
The sharp yet extraordinarily loud voice of the supervising eunuch Guo Fengjie resounded:
"Champion Marquis Chen Sansi distinguished himself in the Western Expedition, with the war concluded, you are to hand over your command seal immediately and lead your troops back to Liangzhou for rest, awaiting the reward from the Capital City, depart immediately without delay."
"I obey the command."
Chen Sansi spoke indifferently, taking out the command seal from his storage bag and handing it over.
Guo Fengjie had a eunuch take the command seal on a tray, then with a smile said, "What is Supervising Chen waiting for? Hurry and pack up, prepare to depart for Liangzhou. The court knows you were injured in the battle of Wu City and wants you to rest well."
"Moreover, I'll let you in on something."
"After such great achievements, Marquis Chen will soon be elevated to Duke."
"Is that so?"
Chen Sansi responded lightly, "Then I will take my leave."
Watching the white robe leave.
The supervising eunuch Guo Fengjie respectfully said to the cultivators, "Additionally, we need two Immortal Masters to accompany them back to Liangzhou, who is willing to go?"
What do you think?
