They benefited from following Yan Chuan.Yan Chuan also relied on the help of these three hundred disciples to assist him in teaching ’Xingyi Boxing’. Otherwise, with only the 8,800 soldiers from his main unit, even with the aid of "Mutual Teaching and Learning" and the ’White Horn Trumpet’, it would have been difficult for Yan Chuan to spread ’Xingyi Boxing’ throughout the entire army in a short time.

heless. Seeing the person beside Tian Jing, and the dozen people behind, made him feel even more enthusiastic.

"Haha!"

Tian Jing laughed heartily, patting Yan Chuan on the shoulder: "The Cang Mountain Sword Discussion, brilliant performance. I wanted to come and congratulate right after the discussion, but as you know, the ’Hidden Dragon’ and ’Chufeng’ two lists needed rearranging, and there were also the matters of ’Earthly List’ distribution. As I’m in charge of the ’Traveler Department’, I really couldn’t get away."

During the Cang Mountain Sword Discussion, many heavenly prides shined brightly, competing in real-life battles, showcasing who was superior or inferior, all quite clear and evident.

"Third Brother, official duties are most important." Yan Chuan understood.

Tian Jing smiled: "Aren’t you curious about your rank on the ’Hidden Dragon’ list?"

"In the first twenty?"

Yan Chuan speculated.

In the later stages of the Sword Discussion, he didn’t make many moves. The few battles that showcased his combat power included the "Dugu Nine Swords" smashing the ’Golden Stick’ along with eighteen absolute skills of stick and spear techniques, and the "Ghost Prison Yin Wind Roar" nearly capturing over a thousand heavenly prides.

One was a one-on-one duel, revealing true strength!

The other was a field attack, taking advantage of the situation!

Both performances were stunning.

Judging by these two instances alone, Yan Chuan thought it shouldn’t be a problem to squeeze into the top ten.

"Ah! Here, take a look for yourself later."

Tian Jing chuckled, handing over the cultivation version of the Sword Discussion, the official "Hidden Dragon List", "Chufeng List", and the newly released "Earthly List" to Yan Chuan, not allowing him to flip through them immediately, as they had official business to attend to first.

Tian Jing introduced to Yan Chuan: "This is Minister of Revenue, Lord Linghu Gan."

"Yan Chuan greets the Great Minister!" Yan Chuan hurriedly clasped his fists in salute.

"No need for too much formality." Linghu Gan smiled: "City Lord Yan, currently honored as the Lord of King City, officially sealed as ’Tan Valley King’, of super-grade rank, your official rank is even above this old man."

Linghu Gan was a well-spirited elder, full of vigor and energy.

Although he was being flattered, Yan Chuan didn’t take it lightly. After all, he still had the life-and-death authority over 180,000-pound Essence Stones that this Great Minister controlled.

Not to mention that this figure ranked twelfth on the "Heavenly List," with extremely strong prowess.

Yan Chuan dared not neglect.

Linghu Gan, smiling broadly, waved his hand, and immediately, six boxes of Essence Stones were carried over: "This is the first batch of six thousand pounds of Essence Stones. In the future, six thousand pounds will be available around the fifteenth of each month."

Six thousand pounds of Essence Stones!

This was a vast sum!

Yan Chuan had never seen so many Essence Stones all at once.

And, every month from now on, there would be this many.

If it was only for him alone, it would be more than enough.

A single person entering the Earth Gate for one day requires a hundred pounds of Essence Stones.

With six thousand pounds every month—

Spend three thousand pounds to soak in ’Heavenly Ladder City’ every day!

Use the remaining three thousand pounds for cultivation!

Ecstatic!

So satisfying it’s deadly!

But, unfortunately—

"Six thousand pounds of Essence Stones a month seems like a lot, but it’s actually little when divided."

Yan Chuan complained to Linghu Gan and Tian Jing: "Six thousand pounds each month, but it has to be divided among sixteen teams, with each team only getting a little over three hundred pounds. With each team having five members, each person only gets sixty to seventy pounds. Great Minister, this is too little! It’s not enough!"

At this moment in Tan Valley Royal City, heavenly prides were gathered—

Yan Chuan Team!

Seven extraordinary military leader teams!

Eight exotic treasure heavenly pride teams!

In total, sixteen teams.

Six thousand pounds of Essence Stones seemed plenty, but spread out, it was far too little, not even noticeable.

Yan Chuan lamented.

Linghu Gan chuckled hearing this: "City Lord Yan deceives this old man by pretending not to be adept at calculations? Or perhaps Tan Valley King is willing to share his eighteen thousand Essence Stones and others’ forty thousand, hundreds equally?"

Linghu Gan, old and crafty, didn’t fall for Yan Chuan’s tricks at all.

He said with a smile: "These six thousand pounds of Essence Stones are in your hands, how to distribute them, isn’t it all up to City Lord Yan’s decision?"

Bullshit!

"Tan Valley Royal City is in ruins and needs all you heavenly prides to work hard. But you want the horses to run while still hungry, Great Minister, I’m struggling here!" Yan Chuan continued to lament.

"Grass-eating?"

"Eating grass is easy!"

Linghu Gan burst into laughter, pulling out a palm-sized clay pot from his bosom. Upon being held, the pot expanded in the wind until it was the size of a head, and Linghu Gan grabbed a handful of soil from underfoot and put it into the pot, watching as that handful of soil visibly multiplied, filling the pot instantly.

Linghu Gan picked a weak seedling from underfoot, planted it in the pot, and in no time, the grass shot up, while new shoots continuously broke through the soil and grew into robust grass.

"This is—"

Yan Chuan watched in amazement, but also felt speechless – when he mentioned giving Situ Fei and others ’grass’ to ’eat’, he meant it metaphorically, not literally giving them ’grass’.

But Linghu Gan—

A clay pot?

Growing grass?

Real grass!?

What kind of situation is this!

Tian Jing knew Yan Chuan didn’t recognize it and introduced: "This is the ’Gathering Treasure Basin’, whatever earth, stone, or vegetation placed inside, more can be grown from it."

"City Lord Yan, watch—"

Linghu Gan threw the pot onto the ground, and the pot expanded in the wind, growing to the size of a water barrel. Cluster after cluster of hardy grass grew wildly, and Linghu Gan, akin to an old farmer, used a sickle to harvest batch after batch, soon piling grass stacks beside him.

Not only grass.

Linghu Gan raised the ’Gathering Treasure Basin’, now the size of a water vat, one-handed, pouring out its contents, and with a splash, earth rained down, forming a small mound.

Indeed mystical.

But, grass and soil, what’s so special about that?

"Not just grass."

"Not just soil."

Linghu Gan placed a tael of silver into the Gathering Treasure Basin, shaking and rocking it, and when he turned it upside down, the original fifty-tael official silver turned into several dozen ingots worth thousands of taels.

After pouring it out.

Linghu Gan again placed a piece of gold leaf into the Gathering Treasure Basin—

Clattering!

The sound of gold echoed, golden light dazzling.

This time, hundreds of pieces of gold leaf spilled out, filling the Gathering Treasure Basin.

"Hiss!"

Yan Chuan was shocked!
