In the venue, people from various forces engaged in lively discussions, completely devoid of their earlier apprehension and humiliation.
“From now on, we martial artists can focus on our cultivation and improving our strength, while all those troublesome secular matters will be handled by Great Qin. In this way, Great Qin’s unification of Yan Province doesn’t seem unreasonable.”
Someone analyzed, a hint of secret joy flashing in their eyes. This was truly excellent; Great Qin was being so generous!
“Moreover, Great Qin has not mentioned any restrictions on our sect’s freedom, not even a single word. On the contrary, if our sects encounter danger, Great Qin will send people to aid us. This is far more beneficial than allying with any top-tier power.”
“If this is indeed the case, we ancient people are not stingy. We can dispatch one or two Imperial level experts to the nearby cities to obey Great Qin’s commands. It’s about mutual cooperation. Since Great Qin is solving so many troubles for us, we should naturally show our appreciation.”
“Heh heh, everyone, this old man has thought of a brilliant idea. Once the Martial Arts Academy is established, I will contribute our sect’s introductory cultivation techniques. This way, the students will begin by learning our sect’s methods. When they achieve great success in the future, will they forget our sect?”
“Tsk tsk, Sect Leader Shi, your idea is excellent indeed. It reminds me. I shall also contribute our sect’s cultivation techniques. Heh heh, excellent, excellent.”
“Great Qin has Li Xiaotian overseeing it, and their army has many geniuses who cultivate at an incredibly fast pace. Although Great Qin currently only has a dozen or so Imperial level martial artists, don’t forget how long they have been cultivating. Given time, the number of Imperial level martial artists in Great Qin will surely surprise everyone. Cooperating with Great Qin now will undoubtedly yield great benefits in the future.”
In a corner of the venue, Qin Huang watched the ancient people discussing with a joyous expression, feeling a great sense of relief.
The restoration of Great Qin’s former glory was within reach!
“Silence!!!”
Suddenly, a powerful shout echoed through the venue, its tone laced with a hint of coercion, causing everyone present to fall silent instantly.
The speaker was Zhan Tianxia, who frowned with a displeased expression.
Seeing this, many people felt a jolt of unease, a bad premonition. Did the Zhan Sect disapprove of Great Qin’s plan and intend to cause trouble?
But in the next moment, a scene that made their eyes pop out unfolded. Zhan Tianxia’s expression shifted instantaneously. He smiled slightly and then said to Qin Huang.
“Lord Qin, I have an impertinent request.”
“Senior Zhan, please speak freely.”
Qin Huang replied, feeling a bit perplexed.
“Once Great Qin’s Martial Arts Academy is established, I wish for the students to cultivate the techniques of my Zhan Sect. Our sect’s techniques are extremely effective and can enhance the physique and fighting spirit of cultivators.”
Zhan Tianxia said, a hint of shame in his eyes. After all, he had previously disagreed with Great Qin and even sparred with Li Xiaotian. Now, he was shamelessly offering the Zhan Sect’s cultivation techniques, clearly acting like a turncoat.
However, he had heard the discussions of everyone present. Providing cultivation methods for martial artists was the most cost-effective way to gain benefits. It might even bring a continuous stream of new blood to their Zhan Sect, strengthening it.
How could he miss out on such a good opportunity?
“Furthermore, not only that, but my Zhan Sect can dispatch strong individuals to station themselves at the Martial Arts Academy to guide the students’ cultivation, and my sect’s experts will also intervene to resolve any dangers encountered by the academy.”
Zhan Tianxia continued, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Hearing Zhan Tianxia’s words, most people present couldn’t help but curse him as a sly old fox, having seized this excellent opportunity first.
What shamelessness! They were the fastest to grab the good stuff!
Lord Qin was stunned. The establishment of the Martial Arts Academy to increase the overall martial artist base was a top priority for the future, but he had never considered the matter of cultivation techniques.
Zhan Tianxia’s suggestion had indeed reminded him. Moreover, the Zhan Sect was a first-class sect, and their cultivation techniques were undoubtedly top-tier. Furthermore, the Zhan Sect was offering to dispatch experts as instructors. Why had their attitude suddenly become so good?
“Senior Zhan, I cannot agree to this matter for now. However, I will seriously consider your suggestion. Once the Martial Arts Academy is established, Great Qin will send dedicated personnel to liaign with the Zhan Sect regarding this matter.”
Qin Huang stated unhurriedly, not agreeing immediately. He somehow felt that Zhan Tianxia’s change in attitude was too abrupt. Offering cultivation techniques and personnel without asking for anything in return seemed too good to be true.
Of course, Qin Huang did not understand the sects’ aspirations for growth, nor the importance of a talented martial arts genius to a sect.
Otherwise, with just this alone, the Martial Arts Academy could win over many sects for Great Qin.
“Heh heh, no rush, no rush. Everything is as Lord Qin arranges. Moreover, if Great Qin requires assistance with the Martial Arts Academy in the future, the Zhan Sect will provide resources and experts.”
Zhan Tianxia said jovially, confident that Great Qin would not refuse his request, as their Zhan Sect’s cultivation techniques were top-tier.
“Ahem, Lord Qin, my Miao Sect is also willing to do the same. Moreover, my Miao Sect can provide secret techniques for body refinement, to enhance the students’ physique. This art is also effective for ordinary people.”
Meng Po spoke, her realization of Zhan Tianxia’s intentions immediate. She quickly reacted and declared her stance.
Hearing Meng Po’s words, many in the venue were astonished. The Miao Sect’s body refinement secret techniques had long been renowned, not because they were overly powerful, but because they were applicable to anyone, regardless of their realm. To think they would offer such a treasure so readily.
They were truly generous!
“Lord Qin, you can consider the cultivation techniques of the Jian Pavilion. The Jian Pavilion’s techniques are also not weak.”
Jian Lin also spoke, regretting his oversight. He had long known what Great Qin would do in the future, but why hadn’t he thought of this earlier? Now, he had almost been beaten to the punch.
“Our Daoist sect’s cultivation techniques are also on par with others, and the Daoist sect can provide some talismans that even ordinary people can learn.”
“Lord Qin, my Potian Sect also contributes our sect’s cultivation techniques. Although the Potian technique is not a top-tier one, its entry barrier is low.”
“And my Wuqin Sect, our sect’s techniques are the most comprehensive, allowing martial artists to improve their physique, speed, and attack power.”
“Enough! Don’t push your luck. Know that too much is not necessarily good. If a martial artist comes into contact with too many cultivation techniques, it can be detrimental. In my opinion, it is best to select the Zhan Sect’s techniques and then choose other techniques as supplementary, forming the most reasonable combination.”
Zhan Tianxia frowned and reprimanded loudly.
“Hmph! Senior Zhan, why are other techniques considered supplementary? Is my Miao Sect’s technique inferior to your Zhan Sect’s?”
Meng Po retorted coldly, immediately striking back.
