After returning, Mo Jia mentioned his experience of this trip to other friends who had played together since childhood, and informed them of the boxing skills Bamboo Forest had practiced.

In the following period, a total of eight people from Mo Jia often returned to Bamboo Forest, bringing fruits and vegetables that they had brought from home to visit the weirdo living in Bamboo Forest.

Lin Chenxing has actually seen the cause of the matter a long time ago, and also knows that the current situation in the world has begun to show signs of chaos, that is, bandits and bandits are being arrested repeatedly, and refugees appear frequently.

Behind all of this was done by Psychic Master from the Universe Mercenary Alliance. He aroused the distracting thoughts of some officials and amplified their greed, causing frequent situations where officials forced the people to rebel.

There was chaos at the bottom, vacillation at the middle level, and the inability of the top management to control it, and the entire dynasty was in decline.

Lin Chenxing also directly received these eight people, a total of six men and two women, and allowed them to learn his boxing skills with him.

At first, these eight people did come for the boxing skills, but later, they discovered that they did not understand many of the things Lin Chenxing mastered, such as pharmacology, fighting skills, analysis of the current situation, etc.

They began to eagerly learn everything Lin Chenxing knew, but the more they learned, the more they felt that Lin Chenxing was gradually teaching them.

After more than a year of study, the eight of them have gradually grown up and become the eight most popular children in the entire Nine Springs Town. Many people older than them even bow to their abilities.

On this day, on a mountain to the north of the town, a group of refugees gathered together. The leader was just a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old. However, in the troubled times of displacement, he had no choice but to use his wisdom that was somewhat beyond ordinary people to pull up the ranks of the refugees at that time. A relatively united small team, when they were besieged by a group of bandits, led the small team to defeat the group of bandits and surrendered to the child. From then on, they became a group of bandits wreaking havoc around Nine Springs Town.

Under this child's plan, he integrated all the forces of refugees and bandits around Nine Springs Town into his own.

Their next plan is to capture Nine Springs Town, establish themselves as a force, and overthrow the incompetent imperial court.

When it was night, Nine Springs Town was completely surrounded, and no road was open. At this time, the townspeople were full of complaints about the location of their town, because the inflow and outflow of a total of nine rivers divided the town, and there were only those few roads going out.

But when this group of bandits was about to invade, a clear and melodious ringing sound came from the town, waking up all the people in the town who had fallen asleep.

This is a safety bell designed by one of the previous eight people. It resonates with the ground outside the city. When there are a large number of footsteps from the outside world, the bell will ring. Once the bell rings, it means there is an attack by a foreign enemy.

Most people in the town understood this plan, and quickly stood up, picked up weapons, and prepared to fight to the death.

The battle is over before it even begins.

When he heard the bell ringing in the town, the leader also knew that sneak attacks were no longer effective, so he ordered everyone to gather directly at the north gate of the town to prepare for a round of negotiations with Nine Springs Town.

The negotiation did not collapse, but the news of eight talented people in the town also reached the ears of the big boss, which made the big boss want to recruit them.

Although they did not worship Lin Chenxing as their master, the eight of them already regarded Lin Chenxing as their master in their hearts. When they studied under Lin Chenxing, they knew that the world had entered troubled times, so they were also thinking about whether to join this group of people. Before joining, they still hoped to seek the opinions of their masters.

Lin Chenxing changed from his previous strange temperament and became solemn in an instant, saying, "As long as you don't kill each other, it doesn't matter which gang you join. If you are lucky enough to help others succeed, then bringing back a piece of King Qi Jade will be my reward."

"King Qi Jade?" The eight people had no idea about this. They just thought it was a normal jade and agreed.

After leaving Bamboo Forest, the eight people joined this team and began to make suggestions for the team, quickly transforming it into a team with the appearance of a regular army.

The leader became independent on the day when the team was completely formed. He took his surname Qi as his name, the team was called Qi Army, and he called himself a general. These eight people also stayed with him and were called Eight Guards of the Bamboo Forest.

At this time, Nine Springs Town was regarded as the main base of the Qi Army and the source of reserve forces.

On this day, Lin Chenxing could clearly see that an aura very similar to Law of Earth appeared from between heaven and earth, and then integrated into the general's body.

Lin Chenxing tried to capture it, but could feel it but could not touch it at all, even using the domain and his own understanding of the law.

The general also began to build a large-scale construction project, hoping to build this place into a capital city for his expansion.

Because when he was still young, an old man who didn't know where he came from said to him, "If you gather nine Qi, you will be a king." Then he gave him a carefully carved yellow jade pendant.

This sentence did not take him to heart at the time. After all, the entire society was relatively peaceful and stable.

But after the troubled times began, he had more and more thoughts about this sentence, and he decided to attack Nine Springs Town for this reason.

After the eight capable people from Nine Springs Town appeared, a thought came up in his mind. Adding himself, wouldn't it be exactly nine people, nine people, nine springs, and nine qi?

Therefore, he valued these eight people very much and wished to regard them as his biological brothers and sisters.

The eight people were gradually moved by him, and finally accidentally revealed the existence of Lin Chenxing in Bamboo Forest.

The general came outside Bamboo Forest, bowed and asked, "I, Qi Shanheng, would like to ask to see the master. I wonder if the master can meet me?"

Lin Chenxing smiled and shook his head in Bamboo Forest, without making a sound, and continued playing with his flowers and plants.

The general didn't know what Lin Chenxing meant, so he retreated and asked that Eight Guards about Lin Chenxing's preferences that night.

Finally, Eight Guards told Qi Shanheng that Lin Chenxing did not care whether others entered Bamboo Forest, nor did he care whether others followed him and learned from him.

Only then did Qi Shanheng realize his previous mistake, and the next day he came outside Bamboo Forest again. This time, he did not stop here, but went straight to the direction of the cabin that was vaguely hidden in Bamboo Forest.

When Qi Shanheng arrived at the wooden house, Lin Chenxing was pruning the excess branches and leaves of the plants and ignored Qi Shanheng's arrival.

Qi Shanheng also came to Lin Chenxing's side, watching Lin Chenxing's movements without saying a word, until Lin Chenxing finished pruning.

"I wonder if sir, would you like to be my military advisor to the Qi Army? If sir is willing, I will treat you as my teacher and have the same status as me in the Qi Army."
