Reinforcing the Seals and Generating Revenue
On the Cypress Water River!
Qin Yan had a significant haul, having eliminated all the Ancient Corpses in the Corpse Grotto.
And they received a considerable amount of good fortune.
These blessings are enough to transform tens of thousands of people into Yin God, allowing those warriors who sacrificed their lives for you to live another life.
"The hidden danger has now emerged, but the fact that the Corpse Grotto conceals a rift connecting the two realms is quite a problem."
Qin Yan whispered!
The current plan is to find a way to seal the Corpse Grotto to prevent things from the Underworld from escaping through the cracks.
He kept searching his mind for knowledge about formations.
He quickly came up with a solution: in ancient times, great cultivators could create spaces, forming special Grotto-Heaven Blessed Lands.
Therefore, some great cultivators specially researched and developed secret array formations to stabilize the space and prevent the collapse of their Grotto-Heaven Blessed Lands.
This is to prevent the space from collapsing.
As a top sect in ancient times, the Tai Xuan Immortal Sect naturally had a similar lineage.
The spatial rift in the Corpse Grotto could very well collapse into a passage.
He must prevent this from happening.
The next moment, he rushed into the river and entered the winding underground cave.
Cracks continued to appear in the dark cave!
Qin Yan recalled those formations and instantly touched the rock with both hands.
Under his control, the rocks in the entire area changed.
He reshaped the landscape of this area, and obscure and mysterious patterns appeared on the stone walls.
He transformed the entire grotto into a battle platform!
He then created several Spirit-Gathering Formation along the edge of the dense pattern!
Qin Yan raised his hand, and several dazzling, high-purity Spirit Crystals appeared around him.
Under his control, these Spirit Crystals were directly driven into the core of the formation!
The next moment, the surrounding space changed dramatically, and the spatial rifts that had been appearing continuously began to shrink.
Gradually, things returned to calm.
The space became stable under the influence of the array!
However, to prevent anyone from entering and causing damage in the future, Qin Yan touched the rock wall with his palm.
The rocks seemed to possess a spirit, and under his control, they gradually formed a stone wall.
This space will be completely isolated.
After doing all this, he sealed off the cave passageway completely once again.
To prevent any more corpses from accidentally entering this Corpse Grotto and, over time, giving rise to powerful Ancient Corpses!
The weather is fine and sunny!
Qinghe Town remained peaceful and tranquil. Qin Yan took a stroll and arrived at the mass grave.
This place has Demon-Suppressing Pagoda, with the relics of eminent monks serving as the suppressing object; ordinary evil spirits find it difficult to break through the seal here.
Unless it's one of those terrifying beings.
This place is very similar to a grotto, posing a huge hidden danger to Qinghe Town.
If those terrifying creatures from the Underworld were to escape from here, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Reinforce!"
This idea popped into Qin Yan's mind!
After three days and three nights of continuous carving, an extremely large formation enveloped the entire mass grave!
The yin energy cannot accumulate here, so it will not form yin evil again and affect the outside world.
One by one, Spirit Crystals were driven into the ground to serve as the energy source for the formation!
Even Fourth Realm expert would not be able to break the array seal here in less than a month or two.
At the same time, Huang Chao, the leader of the Heaven-Soaring Army Cangzhou, actively integrated the population of the prefecture.
They began a significant expansion of their military.
The imperial court dispatched the Crouching Moon Army, one of the three major army groups, to Youzhou to prevent Huang Chao from launching a sudden attack.
The Thundering Firmament Immortal Sect relinquished part of its territory in Cangzhou, but there's no way it could possibly give up part of its territory in Youzhou.
Xiahou Jun also issued a warning.
If Huang Chao dares to attack the territory of the Thundering Firmament Immortal Sect, it will be considered as declaring a full-scale war with them.
The three parties are now in a delicate balance.
Neither the imperial court nor the King of Chu wanted to see the Heaven-Soaring Army continue to expand.
They tacitly restricted each other's development.
Huang Chao was also wary of Xiahou Jun and the Dao One Immortal Sect behind the imperial court, which launched an attack on him simultaneously.
Now he can only turn to developing his own strength, relying on the reputation he had accumulated before.
In addition to suppressing powerful clans, Huang Chao's prestige in Cangzhou was very similar to Qin Yan's status in Yunzhou today.
The most active villainous force in the Great Li Dynasty was Huang Chao.
This attracted a great deal of attention and the interest of various forces, allowing Qin Yan to continuously improve his strength and the combat effectiveness of his army in this environment.
The Garand Rifle has been distributed to regular combat units and become their standard weapon.
"My lord, many of our weapons have now been retired from service."
How should we deal with these weapons?
As the weapons were being replaced, Zhang Xin approached Qin Yan: "I feel it's a real waste to keep these weapons in the warehouse."
Why don't we sell it at a higher price to other forces, such as Huang Chao, the King of Chu, or the Prince Xiang?
Qin Yan thought about it and agreed, nodding slightly.
After all, the armor, swords, shields, and other equipment he crafted were top-of-the-line standard equipment.
The materials used are all high-quality steel.
Its manufacturing process far surpasses that of military equipment of this era.
Qin Yan's army replaced its main weapons with firearms, as well as various martial arts weapons.
Through Ancient Artifact Refining Art, the materials have been upgraded and transformed into various alloy weapons and equipment.
These alloy weapons, in terms of performance in all aspects, far surpassed the forging technology of this era.
More robust, and the weapons are more powerful.
Moreover, Qin Yan would even add weapon patterns to the weapons of generals, and perform a spirit-enchanting tempering process on them.
It is equivalent to a ritual implement from ancient times.
Acquiring these weapons was considered an honor by many soldiers and officers.
This was personally crafted by the Marquis Qin, making it exceptionally significant.
Soon!
Qin Yan's caravan has arrived in the territory of the King of Chu!
"Greetings, Your Highness, the King of Chu."
Jiang Wanqi bowed very respectfully. "I have come with the goodwill of Marquis Qin, wishing to make a deal with His Highness the King of Chu."
"Marquis Qin, you're quite thoughtful. I wonder what kind of business it is!"
The King of Chu smiled faintly, a hint of curiosity creeping into his heart.
Qin Yan is indeed a shrewd businessman, managing the entire Yunzhou with great efficiency.
Its wealth probably ranks among the top three Central Capital the entire Great Li.
A hint of greed lingered in his heart; he wanted to seize Yunzhou.
However, Huang Chao was standing nearby, making him hesitant to move.
"My lord knows that His Highness the King of Chu's soldiers lack weapons, so my lord is willing to provide His Majesty the King of King of Chu with sufficient weapons."
Jiang Wanqi said earnestly.
"Oh!"
Upon hearing this answer, the King of Chu and his ministers exchanged bewildered glances.
Qin Yan must be out of his mind to dare send weapons to his potential enemy.
But soon...
The soldiers under the King of Chu then delivered a pile of weapons.
"Your Highness, these are all weapons forged by our Yunzhou Foundry Bureau."
There are also many generals present; everyone can inspect them for themselves!
Jiang Wanqi smiled faintly.
Upon hearing this, the King of Chu immediately gave a wink to the general beside him.
He exchanged a glance with the other generals, then immediately stepped forward and picked up a weapon forged by the Yunzhou Foundry Bureau.
Upon first handling them, one could immediately sense the difference between these weapons and their standard-issue weapons.
These weapons are at least one or two levels higher in quality.
An elderly general hurriedly raised his spear to test it!
With a single thrust, the spear easily pierced the armor of the King of Chu army soldiers.
After several rounds of testing!
The weapons produced by the Yunzhou Foundry Bureau were of exceptionally high quality.
If the two armies were to clash, their army would certainly be at a disadvantage.
At this moment, the King of Chu of Chu's expression turned extremely gloomy. He had never expected that Qin Yan would be able to manufacture so many exquisite weapons.
The thought of the consequences of antagonizing them sent chills down his spine.
"Your Highness, are you interested in our weapons?"
Jiang Wanqi smiled confidently.
"I need to discuss this matter with many ministers. You may step aside for now!"
The King of Chu spoke calmly!
"Yes!"
Jiang Wanqi smiled, cupped his hands in greeting, and left.
He knew this matter had a high chance of succeeding.
The manufacturing process for weapon materials has become so advanced that if you don't buy them, you'll be getting utterly humiliated.
