A Crazy Idea

He placed the two batches of pills into his Storage Bag. Bai Suzhen then presented him with ten Seven-Colored Cloud Pills. Yue Qianchou was taken aback, gently blocking them with his hand. He then looked at her with affection, shook his head, and whispered, "This pill is called 'Ruyi Pill,' one of the finest pills in the Pill Formula Recipe Jade Tablet. Its effects are extraordinary, with the wonderful uses of detoxification, anti-aging, and eternal youth. It is the perfect elixir for women to maintain their skin. It's just right for you to keep it, sister. Besides, this first batch of pills was originally made for you!"

Bai Suzhen's eyes were filled with tenderness. She said nothing, simply nodded, and placed the elixir into her waistband. Then, with a flick of her sleeve, the Pill Furnace was lifted and landed in a corner of the stone chamber, instantly turning the room ablaze with red light once more. The two of them walked out in tacit understanding.

Yue Qianchou stood atop the mountain, watching Bai Suzhen gracefully use her long sleeves as a brush to sweep out the imposing words "Forbidden Land" on the stone wall of the deep valley. Her elegant figure then twisted in mid-air and gently landed beside him. A gentle breeze stirred her flowing hair. The two stood there silently, gazing quietly in the direction of the bamboo hut.

"Sis, I like the feeling of standing at a high place."

"Um!"

"Sister, shall we build a house on this mountain?"

"Um!"

Yue Qianchou turned his head and stared quietly at the peerless beauty beside him for a while, a sense of peace settling over him. A moment later, Guan Yu and Chen Feng, summoned by his Divine Sense, arrived on their swords. They landed and exclaimed in unison, "Boss!"

Yue Qianchou smiled and took out two handfuls of amethyst, handing them to the two men. He said, "These things are very precious. I almost lost my life in the Demon Ghost Domain when I got them. There aren't many, so take ten each."

Bai Suzhen's eyes remained calm. Chen Feng looked at the amethyst in his hand, scratched his head, and asked, "Boss, what is this?"

Guan Yu seemed to find it hard to believe, examining and touching the amethyst in his hand for a long time before exclaiming, "Could this be supreme-grade Spirit Stones?"

"Ah..." Chen Feng quickly held it up to his eyes and exclaimed, "Could it be a supreme-grade Spirit Stones that can be exchanged for ten thousand high-grade Spirit Stones?"

"Not bad." Yue Qianchou laughed and scolded, "You two good-for-nothings, it's just a few stones. Hurry up and put them away, I have something to tell you two."

The two carefully put the items into the Storage Bag. Chen Feng, with slightly red eyes, muttered, "You just said you almost lost your life to get these, and now you're saying they're just a few stones."

"You brat, you've learned to talk back to me now." Yue Qianchou laughed and scolded, then a seven-colored light flashed in his hand, and he handed one to each person, saying, "This is the real good stuff, I just refined it."

The two men held the seven-colored glow in their hands, looking at each other in bewilderment. Guan Yu asked blankly, "Boss, what... what is this?"

Yue Qianchou smiled and said, "The Ruyi Pill is a spiritual pill that can keep you young forever. Any scars or wounds on your body will disappear immediately after taking it, and you will be as good as new. It can also make you immune to all poisons. It was made from a treasure that I obtained from the Demon Ghost Domain this time."

Eternal youth? An immune system to all poisons? That's a real treasure! The two of them were overjoyed, and it seemed they were considering whether to take it now.

"Alright, darlings, put these away for now. You two have taken your things, it's time to behave and get to work," Yue Qianchou said, feigning displeasure.

His directness didn't bother them; they just smiled and put the bag away, then bowed and waited for orders.

Yue Qianchou suddenly waved his hand and pointed, saying, "I want to build a palace on this mountain peak. Now I ask you two, are you confident that you can build it for me?"

"Ah!" The two were startled, looking around. Building a palace on a mountaintop—what a massive undertaking that would be! Although their abilities were a thousand times greater than ordinary people, with their combined capabilities, they didn't know when it would take to complete. They exchanged a glance; this treasure was truly difficult to obtain. Guan Yu smiled wryly, "Boss, it's not that we're... it's just that our abilities are limited!" Chen Feng nodded in agreement.

"You two idiots!" Yue Qianchou pointed down the mountain and said, "I've brought so many people in to serve you, what are you afraid of?"

"Ah!" The two were startled. Guan Yu smiled bitterly again and said, "Boss, as you know, the weakest of those people is at the Core Formation stage. How can the two of us command them?"

"Hmph!" Bai Suzhen slowly turned her head, staring at the two of them calmly, and said, "With me here, you can order them around as you please. If anyone disobeys, just kill them." Her tone was very calm, but the chill in her words was easy to feel.

"Uh..." The three men were stunned. Yue Qianchou scratched his head and chuckled, "You two do as your sister says. Those who don't listen can be dealt with by your sister. But... hey! But you have to be careful. If they can repent and start anew, give them a chance. Don't kill them all. I still have a use for these people."

Guan Yu and Chen Feng exchanged a glance and solemnly said in unison, "Sister Bai, we understand." They completely ignored Yue Qianchou's words, which caused the latter to keep giving them meaningful glances.

There was no other way. For Yue Qianchou, Bai Suzhen's prestige in Utopia was very important. He was often away from home and needed someone trustworthy to manage everything. He could only purse his lips and say, "You two just need to know what's going on. As for the blueprints for building the palace and the materials needed, I will find a way to get them as soon as possible. You don't need to worry about that. There's another important thing you two should be prepared for."

Seeing that he had gotten to the point, the two stopped their snickering and looked at him seriously. Yue Qianchou said solemnly, "Yun Chang, weed out all the women from those nearly four hundred people. There are too many people in Utopia, and things are getting complicated. My sister can't do without some people under her command. Those women can stay under my sister's command. As for the others, they are all yours."

He paused, his eyes flashing as he stared at Guan Yu and shouted, "Yun Chang, haven't you always wanted to lead Qian Jun to the battlefield like Guan Yu? Fine! I will fully support you and give you this opportunity. I want to build a great army of Cultivation World, an invincible army of Cultivation World. These few hundred people will be your touchstone. Do you have the courage to take on this responsibility? If not, say so as soon as possible so I can find someone else."

Upon hearing this, Guan Yu and Chen Feng were taken aback. Good heavens! What was he planning? Why was he forming a Cultivation World army of cultivators? Bai Suzhen, however, remained calmly standing there. Yue Qianchou, on the other hand, continued to stare intently at Guan Yu. For him, the existence of an army required substantial financial resources, and now that condition was met—a large quantity of supreme-grade Spirit Stones. Even if it wasn't enough, once the army was established, there would naturally be ways to generate wealth. Wasn't there a saying about robbing the rich to help the poor?

Guan Yu was initially excited, but he didn't agree immediately. After calming down a bit, he slowly said, "Boss, I have the courage, and I really want to take on this responsibility, but I've never done anything like this before, and I'm afraid I'll mess up your important plans."

"It's good that you thought things through! I was really afraid you'd agree without a second thought, and I wouldn't have dared to entrust this task to you. Now it seems I didn't misjudge you." Yue Qianchou smiled slightly and patted his shoulder, saying, "Yun Chang! There's a first time for everything. As long as you do your job conscientiously, there's nothing you can't do well. You might take a few detours, but that's okay. I believe you can do it well. Don't worry! I know a little about leading troops, and I can give you some advice. It's settled then. From today onwards, those few hundred men will all be your subordinates. Don't worry about whether they're at the Core Formation stage or Nascent Soul Realm. You just need to know one thing: they are all your soldiers!"

With Yue Qianchou's words as a foundation, Guan Yu nodded emphatically, brimming with confidence. Chen Feng, standing to the side, was filled with envy. What man hadn't dreamed of galloping across the battlefield? Yue Qianchou glared at him and shouted, "What are you looking at? You have your own job to do, so tell me first if you're confident you can do it well! If you're not confident, I'm too lazy to talk to you. There are plenty of other people out there."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Chen Feng thumped his chest loudly, full of enthusiasm, and said, "Boss, just tell me what you need, and I'll definitely do it." In his opinion, Yue Qianchou dared to do something as crazy as forming a large army of Cultivation World, so the task he was given must be extraordinary. It would be a shame not to get involved.
