God of Pets

Chapter 270 Internal Conflict
Ji Nanhong was still busy with the new recruits, while Chen Guan seemed to be very free, but in reality he was not idle at all, and was diligently cultivating every day.

Even in the era of absolute centralized power of the Ten Heavenly Kings, there were still people who could live well without having to compete with others for the scraps that slipped through the fingers of the Ten Great Families.

Chen Guan invented a bottom-digestion cultivation method. Digesting pills takes time, but if one's own vital energy is consumed very quickly, the digestion time of the pills will be accelerated, squeezing out more value from the pills.

Therefore, Chen Guan used the secret technique every day to keep his vital energy constantly depleted, so that the pills would be digested very quickly.

Therefore, Chen Guan kept the Heavenly Tyrant Body active almost all the time to consume his own vital energy.

He had considered keeping the Pure Yang Sword Immortal active, but he could only activate it for about ten seconds. He had to wait for his vital energy to recover to a certain level before he could activate it again. He couldn't keep his body on the verge of running out of vital energy all the time, so the effect wasn't very good.

With the Heavenly Tyrant Body active, the amount of vital energy consumed was just right for Chen Guan. His rate of vital energy recovery was comparable to the consumption of the Heavenly Tyrant Body, and he even recovered more vital energy.

In this way, Chen Guan can use the excess energy to practice other secret techniques, and keep his energy at its lowest level for a long time.

As a result, the Heavenly Tyrant Body leveled up exceptionally quickly. A little over a month later, when Chen Guan advanced to level 13, the Heavenly Tyrant Body had already reached level 15.

Looking at his 4096 points of vitality, Chen Guan felt both happy and troubled. If he continued to cultivate like this, the difficulty of leveling up to the third awakening would be absolutely insane. How would he level up then?

When he reaches level 21, his energy will exceed one million, and around that time he will be able to activate the Pure Yang Sword Immortal skill at any time.

"Old Guan, are you still fishing here? Something's happened in the military corps." Duan Shulin rushed over.

"What happened?" Chen Guan asked, puzzled.

"The Jade Kirin Camp and the Ink Kirin Camp have started fighting," Duan Shulin said.

Chen Guan was not surprised to hear this. The Jade Kirin Camp was reorganized from the Heavenly Court Guards brought by Bai Yueguang, while the Ink Kirin Camp was newly built with the veterans of the Black Tiger Regiment as its backbone.

The Jade Kirin Battalion, whose members came from the Imperial Guard, disapproved of the behavior of the veterans, and the veterans also looked down on the mannerisms of the Jade Kirin Battalion. In addition, due to the establishment of the new corps, many places were short of manpower, and the division of labor and responsibilities was unclear. There was even a phenomenon of fighting for high-quality resources. It is not surprising that they clashed.

Originally, Ji Nanhong's plan was to disperse the personal guards, the Black Tiger veterans, and all other Three Awakening cultivators, and reorganize them into new units and camps.

Unfortunately, the situation at the time did not allow it. Ji Nanhong herself was not strong enough, and the army group had to start everything from scratch. She needed stable support. In addition, the three deputy army group commanders were all troublemakers. In the end, instead of disbanding and reorganizing, each of the three sides established a battalion.

In addition, the Blood Kirin Vanguard Battalion, Fire Kirin Guard Battalion, Cloud Kirin Battalion, Wind Kirin Battalion, Thunder Kirin Battalion, and Young Kirin Recruit Battalion were added, forming the current Kirin Legion.

Chen Guan only held the title of Vanguard Battalion; the real leader of the Vanguard Battalion was his deputy, An Yiqi. Chen Guan would only visit the Vanguard Battalion every day, while An Yiqi would handle all the other work.

"What were they fighting about this time?" Chen Guan asked.

"It's all about who guards Beast Valley. Because Beast Valley hadn't been discovered before, its entrance was positioned right in the middle of the two battalions' areas when the areas were divided. After it was discovered, you know how rich its secret spirits and rare treasures are. The two battalions have been constantly arguing over who gets to guard Beast Valley these past few days, and today they even started fighting..."

"The corps commander isn't here, you'd better go check on him." Duan Shulin pulled Chen Guan away. Of course he was anxious. He was now in deep cooperation with the Qilin Corps, and many of the things the corps obtained from developing the Qilin Mountains were used to exchange with the Duan family.

If the Qilin Legion runs into problems and shipments decrease, he and the Duan family will earn a lot less money.

When Chen Guan and Duan Shulin arrived near the Valley of a Hundred Beasts, they saw soldiers from the Jade Kirin and Ink Kirin battalions shouting insults at each other on either side, with Jiang Tianqing and his Cloud Kirin battalion soldiers in the middle.

Jiang Tianqing is in charge of general affairs and also serves as the patrol chief and the battalion commander of the Cloud Kirin Battalion. If problems arise in the Jade Kirin Battalion or the Ink Kirin Battalion, he will definitely be there whether Ji Nanhong is present or not.

But now it's clear that nobody's buying Jiang Tianqing's act. Even though Jiang Tianqing and his men are blocking the way, people on both sides are still shouting and cursing. Bai Yueguang and Zhu Hongzhi just stand on both sides and watch coldly, ignoring everyone.

No matter what Jiang Tianqing said, it was no use; the other person simply ignored him.

Jiang Tianqing was also helpless. His level hadn't increased, and since he came from one of the ten major families, the Heavenly Court Army's orthodox direct forces didn't really deal with people from the ten major families, so they wouldn't pay any attention to him now.

Jiang Tianqing believes this is not a bad thing; it's a good thing to exercise more while you're young.

But now the war of words between the two sides is getting more and more intense, and if they really come to blows, he won't know how to explain it to Ji Nanhong.

Bai Yueguang and Zhu Hongzhi completely ignored him, and no matter how eloquent he was, it was useless. Even someone as calm as him got a little angry, but he had nowhere to vent, so he could only digest it himself.

Just as Jiang Tianqing was feeling extremely frustrated and trying to figure out how to solve the problem, he saw Chen Guan and Duan Shulin coming over together.

"Why is everyone out sunbathing today? What are you chatting about so happily?" Chen Guan asked as they walked.

When everyone saw Chen Guan approaching, they fell silent for a moment.

Jiang Tianqing thought to himself, "Is this what you call having a good chat?"

"Deputy Commander Chen...you be the judge for us..." The scene was quiet for only three seconds before the two sides started arguing again, each complaining about the other side to Chen Guan.

"Deputy Commander Bai, Deputy Commander Zhu, what's going on?" Chen Guan asked, feigning ignorance as he looked at Bai Yueguang and Zhu Hongzhi.

The two men, who had been standing with their arms crossed and watching coldly, lowered their arms when they saw Chen Guan arrive. Unlike before, they no longer pretended to be deaf and dumb. When Chen Guan asked them a question, they waved to signal their respective people to be quiet, and then both of them walked up to Chen Guan.

Seeing their behavior, Jiang Tianqing cursed inwardly, "Damn it! I've been talking for so long, and you guys were like you were deaf and blind. How come you heard me all of a sudden? You're such dogs."

Despite the cursing, Jiang Tianqing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that both sides were willing to listen to Chen Guan. He ordered his men to form a human wall to continue blocking both sides, and he himself walked over to Chen Guan's side.
