Chapter 452 Joining the Army
Lin Zhao felt a headache whenever she saw this person, and as for the few men next to her who were being sarcastic, Lin Zhao couldn't be bothered with them.

As for their covetousness of her appearance, Lin Zhao pretended not to notice.

When she arrived in the Ancestral Phoenix Plane, she didn't conceal her appearance too much. She only made some modifications to make her appearance different from when she ascended to the throne in the Ancestral Phoenix Plane.

After all, she didn't know where her two older brothers were. Their striking appearance, which resembled her previous ones, was quite eye-catching and would leave a lasting impression wherever she went.

If possible, Lin Zhao planned to find her two elder brothers using any means possible as quickly as possible.

Seeing that Lin Zhao ignored them, the rejected men exchanged glances, realizing they had found an easy target, and approached Lin Zhao with smiles.

Although the town forbids forcing others, such a beautiful girl, who looks like a fairy from heaven, makes people's hearts itch more and more the more they look at her. It would be worth it for her to be locked up for decades!
Besides, while coercion is prohibited, it doesn't mean mutual affection is forbidden.

The major dynasties in the cultivation world have always been very open-minded about matters between men and women. As long as it is not forced, people will at most say that men and women are romantic.

Lin Zhao took two steps before being blocked by these people. When Duan Changzhen saw this, he was filled with regret. He shouldn't have called out to Sister Zhao Lin!

He quickly ran to Lin Zhao's side and pushed those people aside, saying, "Get out of the way!"

The burly man who had been pushed aside winked at the person next to him, and soon three men surrounded Duan Changzhen.

Although Duan Changzhen was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, three peak Qi Refining cultivators were enough to keep him occupied for a while.

Lin Zhao rubbed her temples.

"I'm here to find someone."

The seemingly random sentence made the men exchange glances and burst into laughter: "Sure, sure, little lady, as long as you spend one night with us, we'll help you find someone!"

Lin Zhao said "Oh," and then followed me.

The person who was planning to help on the way: "..."

The group intending to force themselves: "..."

Lin Zhao took two steps: "Come on, didn't you tell me to come with you?"

The burly man at the head of the group realized something was wrong, but everyone around was watching, and if he backed down now, he would lose face in town.

Suppressing the strange feelings in his heart, he led his men and followed them.

The crowd who had been watching the commotion pushed and shoved each other, but someone still managed to contact the government through the Heavenly Mirror.

When the government officials found the residence where Lin Zhao was temporarily staying, they hurriedly kicked open the door and saw a man sweeping the floor, a man repairing the roof, seven or eight men wiping the floor, walls and tables with rags, and another man boiling water and another cooking.

A girl in blue was lying on a rattan chair in the courtyard, with her eyes closed under the locust tree, seemingly asleep.

The head constable spoke cautiously, afraid of disturbing the beautiful scene before him: "Miss?"

Lin Zhao opened her eyes, sat up, and looked at him: "Is there something you need, sir?"

The constable looked around and felt that the person who reported this to the authorities was crazy. What lewd and burly man forcibly harassing a delicate young girl? It was just a bunch of guards doing chores for the young lady!
"No, no, that's all, that's all."

Although he didn't know why a Foundation Establishment cultivator like himself would feel such deep-seated fear of the girl before him, the constable trusted his intuition and quickly led his men away.

Lin Zhao and the others left, glancing around at the men working. "Work hard. Didn't you ask me to stay with you all night? I'll just watch you work hard all night."

The moment the strong men paused, a long whip formed from spiritual energy lashed down from the sky, striking them so hard they cried out in pain. They dared not stop and put all their strength into their work.

After the group of people cleaned the dilapidated courtyard until it was spotless and beautiful, and prepared delicious spiritual food, Lin Zhao leisurely got up. With a slight movement of his fingers, something suddenly appeared in the mouths of these people.

“This is a talisman. If you do anything again, like having another girl spend the night with you, this talisman will be activated, causing your physical body and soul to explode simultaneously.” Lin Zhao glanced at the spiritual food, had a dozen people stand in line, and asked, “Now, I will ask, and you will answer. If there is any falsehood, I have plenty of ways to make you wish you were dead.”

……

As the night passed, the burly men emerged from the courtyard, their faces pale. Duan Changzhen, seeing the gate open, eagerly peered out and looked at Lin Zhao as she walked out. He looked at her with some guilt.

"Sister Zhao Lin..."

Although he didn't think these few scoundrels could do anything to Lin Zhao, he still felt that he had brought trouble upon Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao waved her hand: "It's none of your business. People like this would exist even without you. By the way, didn't you suggest I join the army? Could you take me to the registration place?"

Duan Changzhen's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Sister Zhao Lin, you've finally figured it out!"

He felt extremely sorry for Lin Zhao ever since he learned that Lin Zhao's cultivation was above the Enlightenment stage but he had no official title or status, was just a commoner, and did not belong to any sect.

Although many independent cultivators in the Ancestral Dragon Plane have become successful thanks to the resources provided by the dynasty, they still have to make contributions to the dynasty!

For independent cultivators, joining the army is the best way to quickly acquire resources in the early stages.

Moreover, these are special times. If one can establish merit in the war to advance the Qin Dynasty, the status and resources will be several times greater than the previous benefits of joining the army.

Lin Zhao smiled slightly: "It's not for resources."

Based on the information gleaned from those people, Lin Zhao figured that making a name for himself in the struggle for power among the dynasties might be the fastest way to get his brother's attention.

Moreover, Lin Zhao was even more willing to oppose the Qing Dynasty, which was still struggling to regain its status as a super dynasty.

Duan Changzhen didn't understand what Lin Zhao meant, but that didn't stop him from happily taking Lin Zhao to the military camp where he was currently enlisting.

As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he was treated like a private when he entered the sect. When Lin Zhao was brought in, the second-class soldier in charge of rank saw that he had brought a little girl and laughed, "Duan Changzhen, are you not afraid of Brother Chen and brought a woman to relieve your stress?"

Duan Changzhen's face turned ashen: "How dare you say such a thing in front of Brother Zheng?"

The private in charge of registration immediately shut up. He was from the same detachment as Li Hong, who had previously beaten Duan Changzhen, and naturally disliked Duan Changzhen, one of the best privates in another detachment.

However, the captain above Duan Changzhen is one of only two privates on their side. Above that, they have already left the main force of war supplies and can be called first-class soldiers. This is a position that only cultivators with a cultivation level of at least Foundation Establishment can achieve.

As for cultivators in the Enlightenment stage, they can challenge the second-level physicians, while those in the Golden Core stage... can challenge the third-level official physicians.

As for the ranks above the rank of official, these soldiers had hardly ever seen any.

Lin Zhao ignored their argument. When the other party asked about his cultivation level, he replied that he was at the Great Perfection of the Enlightenment Stage.
