Chapter 1123: Chapter 1122: Jade Seal

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

A large number of new recruits had been sent from various counties these past few days. Lan Manshuang had already trained a batch of commanders, so the training could be handed over to them.

These new recruits would be continuously replenished into the five major armies in the future.

The Array Masters of the Dynasty were also very busy now, setting up Transmission Arrays in various places.

The main focus of their efforts was on the Transmission Arrays between the frontier strongholds and the royal city.

The number of Array Masters in the Dynasty had now reached over four thousand, more than four times the previous number, all learning and cultivating the advanced Array Skills that Qin Hao had provided.

Before learning, all these people had to swear to Heaven and to the Dynasty, otherwise how could they easily learn such advanced Array Formation Skills.

...

Skyfire City.

Qin Hao, Lan Manshuang, and Ling’er had returned to the State Preceptor’s Mansion. Dong Mengqi, Xian Yin, and Wu Yutong had taken the army to the border. Once arrangements were complete, they could return at any time via the Transmission Array.

If anything happened over there, they could also use the Transmission Array to go over, very conveniently.

Arrays were also being set up in the royal city now.

There were many types of arrays, including Killing Arrays, which were offensive formations, as well as Defensive Arrays, Maze Arrays, Illusion Arrays, and so on. The blueprints and materials for these arrays varied greatly.

Currently, a mid-level array was being set up in the royal city, consisting of one offensive array and one defensive array.

For a high-level array, the materials in the national treasury were simply insufficient; a mid-level array could barely be set up.

"I’m going to the royal palace for a bit; you all should focus on your cultivation at home," Qin Hao said to Lan Manshuang and Ling’er.

Lan Manshuang nodded, "The Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth is becoming increasingly abundant. Someday, we should have a Spirit Gathering Array set up in your estate for better cultivation."

Qin Hao: "Once those people are less busy, they’ll come to set it up."

He left the State Preceptor’s Mansion and walked a few steps to the entrance of the royal palace. The guards at the entrance saw it was Qin Hao and didn’t even bother to question him.

Qin Hao walked into the palace, heading straight for the imperial study, his mind pondering future matters.

"State Preceptor Qin."

A crisp and pleasant voice rang out.

Qin Hao looked up to see Ye Yushi and a young, beautiful woman walking out.

"Ah, it’s Princess Yushi, going out to play?" Qin Hao replied.

The young, beautiful woman saw Qin Hao and bowed, "Greetings, State Preceptor Qin."

Qin Hao appraised her, "And you are?"

Ye Yushi explained, "State Preceptor Qin, this is Zhai Xinting, our kingdom’s most talented young intermediate Array Master. She’s currently working with a few Array Masters to oversee the array setups in the palace and royal city."

Qin Hao nodded slightly, "Ah, it’s Miss Zhai, my apologies."

Zhai Xinting smiled gently, "The State Preceptor is too kind. I must thank him for sparing my family."

Qin Hao: "Everyone makes mistakes, but if the same mistake is made twice, it’s no longer worth sparing."

After saying that, he turned and walked away. Despite Zhai Xinting’s earlier words, there was still a trace of dissatisfaction towards Qin Hao.

Qin Hao could easily discern this, which is why he responded as he did.

Zhai Xinting paused for a moment and turned to look at Qin Hao’s retreating figure, but by then he was already far away.

Ye Yushi spoke up, "Xinting, State Preceptor Qin is actually quite good. Though he holds the position of State Preceptor, he has never bullied the weak and is very kind to ordinary people. The policies he has enacted have benefited many, breaking the monopoly of those cultivation families."

Zhai Xinting, hearing her words, reacted, realizing that the advanced Arrays she had learned were provided by Qin Hao.

She had to acknowledge this truth and nodded slightly, "You’re right, State Preceptor Qin is indeed a good person. Advanced Array Techniques are something you can’t even buy outside, and yet he freely provides them for people to study."

Ye Yushi: "My sister gave me an advanced Cultivation Technique. I’ve already started practicing it, and it’s truly powerful."

...

In the royal palace, within the imperial study.

Qin Hao pushed the door open and walked in, saying to Ye Lingyi, "Lingyi, the tasks for the four major armies have been arranged. The Azure Dragon Army is stationed around the royal city. Wherever support is needed, you send troops."

Ye Lingyi nodded slightly, "Qin Hao, come and see, the Dragon’s Aura within the Jade Seal has become even denser. It seems like the Dragon Vein is really about to revive."

Qin Hao walked over, picked up the Jade Seal, and took a look. Then he probed it with his Divine Sense, only to hear a sudden dragon roar from within.

Qin Hao’s Divine Sense withdrew immediately, his expression looking a bit troubled: "This Jade Seal has its own consciousness. Since I’m not of the e Family, I can’t enter it, or else I risk being attacked."

Ye Lingyi saw his expression and said worriedly, "Qin Hao, are you okay?"

Qin Hao: "I’m fine; luckily, I withdrew quickly enough."

Ye Lingyi looked at the Jade Seal passed down in the e Family, "He’s my Dao companion, and also a benefactor to our family. From now on, you can’t attack him."

The Jade Seal emitted faint dragon roars as if responding.

Ye Lingyi smiled and said to Qin Hao, "Qin Hao, I discovered a secret about the Jade Seal: it can absorb the Dragon’s Aura inside for cultivation. Dragon’s Aura is a level above the Spiritual Energy of the world, and it will boost our strength quickly. Let’s try it tonight, shall we?"

Qin Hao nodded, "Has the situation in the Xuanqing Dynasty been investigated thoroughly?"

Ye Lingyi: "The Xuanqing Dynasty is now controlled by the Demon God Sect. Most of the towns near their royal city have had their people blood-sacrificed by demon cultivators from the Demon God Sect. Some managed to escape, and now the people in the Xuanqing Dynasty are in a state of panic."

Qin Hao displayed a smile, "Has any cultivation treasure land appeared over in the Xuanqing Dynasty?"

Ye Lingyi: "Yes, but they have already been occupied by the Demon God Sect."

Qin Hao: "We’ll wait for two more days, until the Demon God Sect has caused enough damage, then we’ll take action. By the way, these days, summon some craftsmen from the Dynasty; I need them."

"What kind of craftsmen?" Ye Lingyi curiously asked him.

Qin Hao: "Blacksmiths will do, those who can make fine components."

Ye Lingyi: "The type of craftsmen you’re talking about are available in the royal palace. What do you want to make?"

Qin Hao: "I’m making a weapon. This jade slip contains the blueprints. Have those people manufacture all the components on the blueprint, and then assemble them together. Make sure the blueprints don’t leak; if this is successfully researched, it will be a powerful weapon of mass destruction."

Ye Lingyi took the jade slip and curiously looked inside it. It indeed contained blueprints of something, but was this thing a weapon? Could there be such a weapon?

She curiously asked, "What is this thing? It doesn’t look like a weapon."

Qin Hao chuckled, "You’ll know once it’s researched and developed."

Ye Lingyi: "It’s already dark, let’s go for Dual Cultivation and also test the Jade Seal’s effect."

Qin Hao nodded, then went to Ye Lingyi’s bedchamber. Soon, the sound of Ye Lingyi’s voice resonated within, and after the "battle" concluded, she took out the Jade Seal to begin cultivation.
