Chapter 1115: Chapter 1114: Ye Yushi’s Request

At seven o’clock the next morning, in the main hall of the royal palace.

Today’s morning court assembly started on time. Ye Lingyi sat on the phoenix throne, while Qin Hao, as State Preceptor, sat beside her.

Below stood Dong Mengqi, Xian Yin, Ling’er, Wu Yang, and others.

Ye Lingyi spoke about the situation on the northern border, praised Qin Hao and many other generals, and then discussed the movements of the Xuanqing Dynasty’s army, asking everyone to be prepared for battle.

The ministers below didn’t speak, listening quietly to Ye Lingyi.

After finishing those matters, Ye Lingyi continued: "Today, I have another major announcement to make. We will issue a recruitment notice throughout the entire dynasty: State Preceptor Qin will offer High-level Formation, Alchemy, and Artifact Refining Skills, recruiting talented individuals regardless of their backgrounds. Anyone who passes the assessment can learn these advanced skills."

The ministers below were stunned upon hearing this. High-level Formation, Alchemy, and Artifact Refining Skills??

They all looked at Qin Hao. Where did he get so many advanced secret techniques? One couldn’t even learn these in a top dynasty.

And now Qin Hao is willing to make them available for everyone to learn??

Duke Protector Zhai Nanyi spoke: "King, how could such advanced secret techniques be made public? They are the foundation of our dynasty’s rise and must be kept secret."

Qin Hao looked at him and asked: "What does Duke Protector suggest, then?"

Duke Protector Zhai Nanyi replied: "I think, King, you should select talented disciples from the major noble families. Our families have protected the dynasty for generations with loyalty and will never betray it, unlike ordinary people who might be spies from other countries."

Ye Lingyi nodded slightly in response: "Duke Protector does have a point, but you need not worry, those who pass the assessment will be closely monitored by the dynasty. Among the commoners, there are also those with extraordinary talents. This initiative is to gather talent from across the realm, as the number of noble families is limited."

"But King, the consequences would be unimaginable if this leaks," Zhai Nanyi insisted.

Qin Hao: "Enough, the King orders, and you shall follow."

Zhai Nanyi looked at Qin Hao: "State Preceptor Qin, if we follow your word, and I don’t consent or speak, do you think it is good? The King has just ascended the throne and might not consider everything fully. We are thinking for the King and for the dynasty."

Many spoke up: "We are all thinking for the King and for the dynasty."

Ye Lingyi saw their reactions, feeling a sinking heart but with no change on her face.

Qin Hao squinted his eyes, a piercing light flickered: "These advanced secret techniques are all from me. Whoever I want to teach them to is my business. If you say so, then your families can be excluded."

Zhai Nanyi and the others turned pale; this was not what they wanted to see.

Qin Hao’s eyes were sharp as he swept through the crowd: "Anyone else have something to say?"

The crowd below trembled, not daring to speak. With Qin Hao’s strong stance, who would dare to voice out? If their families were excluded, the loss would be enormous.

Zhai Nanyi looked at the other dukes, but they all pretended not to see his gaze, focused on their own matters, with an expression of indifference.

Seeing their attitude, Zhai Nanyi understood. They were intimidated by Qin Hao’s dominance, not daring to speak, leaving him as the scapegoat.

...

Thus, the matter was settled. That day, recruitment notices were posted in every commandery, state, and city.

Moreover, given the current special circumstances, those coming for recruitment would be escorted by the City Lord’s office to the State Lord’s office, then to the Commandery Princess, and finally to the royal city for various talent assessments.

Currently, there are many Array Masters, Alchemists, and Artifact Refiners within the dynasty, but their levels are low, and the cultivation techniques they learn are very basic.

However, in the future, they will become the mainstay since they have experience and are stronger than those who just started learning.

After the morning assembly, Qin Hao checked his merit points, which had reached nearly six hundred thousand.

He exchanged them for some High-level Formation, Alchemy, and Artifact Refining Skills, especially Formation Skills; he exchanged more of those.

Within the Formation Skills, Qin Hao found many Combined Attack Formations suitable for the army, such as the Three Talents Formation for groups of three.

This group of three was more suitable for use by the palace’s Forbidden Guards, as fewer people could exert greater power.

Qin Hao also saw many top Combined Attack Formations; whether in attack or defense, they were quite formidable. If applied to the army, it would greatly enhance their combat effectiveness.

He exchanged several kinds, which would be usable in the future as he aimed to forge an invincible, strong, and dominant legion.

"Qin Hao, what are you deep in thought about?" Ye Lingyi, seeing him sitting there motionless, couldn’t help but ask curiously.

Qin Hao: "It’s nothing; I have a few Combined Attack Formations here. You can use them to train the palace’s Forbidden Guards, which will greatly increase their strength."

After speaking, he passed on the Three Talents Formation, Four Symbols Formation, and others to Ye Lingyi, instructing her to train the palace’s Forbidden Guards to boost their strength.

Ye Lingyi, after digesting the information, said: "Don’t you also have more high-level cultivation techniques? Pass a few to me, and I’ll let the core Bloodthirsty Forbidden Guards cultivate them."

Qin Hao nodded: "You’re right, I’ll do it right away."

He gave Ye Lingyi over a dozen high-level cultivation techniques and High-level Divine Abilities, which could be used to reward the subordinates.

Qin Hao: "I’ll go back now. You manage the palace well."

He walked out of Ye Lingyi’s bedchamber and headed out of the palace. As he crossed a stone bridge, a voice called out: "State Preceptor Qin!"

Qin Hao turned to see Ye Yushi standing not far away, looking at him.

"Princess Yushi, do you have something for me?" he asked indifferently.

Ye Yushi: "State Preceptor Qin, it’s inconvenient to talk here. Let’s go to my bedchamber."

Qin Hao looked puzzled, hesitated, and said: "Alright, Princess Yushi, please."

He followed Ye Yushi to her bedchamber.

"Princess Yushi, just say what you want. I’m quite busy," Qin Hao said, looking at her.

Ye Yushi: "Just now, the eldest daughter of the Zhai Family spoke with me, asking me to plead with you."

Qin Hao was a bit taken aback: "That Zhai Nanyi’s matter?"

Ye Yushi nodded: "Yes, Zhai Xinting is his eldest granddaughter; she’s the one who asked me. She has a good grasp of the art of formations and is quite talented. She also wishes to undergo the assessment and serve the dynasty."

Qin Hao: "I’ve already spoken in court. Do you want me to go back on my words? How would others view me then?"

Ye Yushi quickly said: "State Preceptor Qin, I beg you; Xinting is my good friend. She really is a genius at formations. Can you give her a chance? Don’t consider others; allow her to undergo the assessment, please?"

Qin Hao said with indifference: "Let her grandfather come and talk to me." With that, he turned and left.
