Linggen Civil Engineering only wants to build roads

Fang Chen sat cross-legged in his tent, calculating the gains from this attack.

Leading an attack is dangerous, but the rewards are much greater than staying at the foot of the mountain.

Take military merits as an example. Because they broke through the formation ahead of time, the Military Merit Pavilion gave them a reward. Qingyang Ridge, which was originally only worth 1,000 military merits, now has 500 more. Fang Chen participated in the attack and was able to gain 20%, which is 300 military merits.

It can be said that this time, the military achievements will be comparable to those gained from the previous three attacks.

Fang Chen kept half for himself and gave the rest to his young apprentices.

In addition to military merits, cultivators who participate in the attack can also obtain some spiritual materials and treasures.

Xu Qian'er took the lead and led everyone to collect these items. It is said that this batch yielded spiritual materials and treasures worth several hundred spirit stones.

Although it was nothing to Fang Chen, it was a great fortune for these mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators. After all, Fang Chen only allowed them to use the talismans themselves and resolutely forbade them to be sold.

Therefore, these spoils of war can greatly replenish their coffers.

"Breaking the formation gave me 150 military merits, plus several dozen more for killing an elder in the late Qi Refining stage. In the blink of an eye, my military merits have reached 200."

Fang Chen laughed and said that two hundred military merits could buy some basic inheritance.

After thinking about it, I decided to suppress that thought.

Firstly, he could obtain these basic inheritances through spoils of war, and secondly, these basic inheritances were not of much need for Fang Chen in his current situation.

What Fang Chen needs most right now are two things: one is pills to improve cultivation level, which goes without saying as all cultivators are in dire need of them; the other is some secret techniques to enhance combat power.

I already purchased the training manual last time.

As for spells, the upper-level spells are too weak for him right now, and he doesn't have enough spiritual power to cast the top-level spells.

Therefore, to improve his combat power in a short period of time, Fang Chen set his sights on the numerous secret techniques scattered across the exchange list.

Like talismans, secret arts are not so much limited by the amount of spiritual power, but rather by the conditions for cultivation and one's natural talent and understanding.

Some secret techniques require a lot of high-value spiritual materials to cultivate and use, such as the blood of high-level demon beasts, and some fire essence, water essence, and the essence of the five elements. Some secret techniques require a special spiritual environment, such as a place with strong winds, lightning, and poisonous insects.

Each secret technique requires different materials and environments.

But what they all require is comprehension; without comprehension, some people can't even understand them.

These secret techniques are incredibly powerful. Some cultivators, by mastering just one of these techniques, can dominate an entire region and become invincible.

This is exactly what Fang Chen needs. The power of a high-level secret technique is almost enough to overwhelm a cultivator who has reached the peak of Qi Refining, while a top-level secret technique can directly kill an unsuspecting cultivator.

The reason why those sect cultivators are so powerful, besides their powerful cultivation techniques and spells, is mainly due to these secret arts.

However, the more powerful the secret technique, the more expensive the military merit required.

Fang Chen did take a fancy to several secret techniques, but unfortunately, they all required at least a thousand military merits.

"It seems that I will use part of the military merits I earn to buy pills for cultivation, and save the rest to buy secret techniques."

After obtaining the array formation inheritance, Fang Chen's ambition gradually grew.

After making the decision, he began frantically grinding through the basic formations.

More than ten days later, Fang Chen's proficiency in basic formations had passed the mastery level and reached the perfect level. Just as he was preparing to continue, he heard some good news.

"Fu Yunzi has actually broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining?"

Although everyone in my team is at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, their cultivation progress varies.

The three rogue cultivators, Fuyunzi, Qinglan, and Changmei, had been cultivating for a long time, but due to the lack of breakthrough pills and the nourishment of the Spirit Eye Land, they were all stuck at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

The remaining disciples of Qiyun Pavilion were different; three years ago, they were only at the early stage of Qi Refining.

He only broke through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining after three years of cultivation in the Spirit Eye Land, and was still stuck at the fourth or fifth level of Qi Refining.

The reason they were quite strong was because Fang Chen had prepared many methods for them.

Now, we've been on the battlefield for three or four months.

After each battle, not only could they cultivate in the Spirit Eye Land, but Fang Chen also distributed a lot of the military merits they had accumulated in the previous period. After exchanging them for pills to break through, Fu Yunzi got his wish.

He successfully broke through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, reaching the late stage of Qi Refining.

"Congratulations, you've finally broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining," Fang Chen said with a smile.

Fu Yunzi is now radiant; wasn't he fighting on the battlefield all for this moment?

However, he certainly knew who was responsible for all of this, after all, he had talked to the sergeants in other teams.

They learned that the distribution of military merits was completely different from their own, with much less than theirs, and some even having their merits deducted by the sergeant under some pretext.

Thinking of this, Fuyunzi cupped his hands and said, "I must thank Brother Fang for his help."

"Not at all, you still need to work hard in your own cultivation," Fang Chen waved his hand and then asked.

"By the way, now that you've broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining, you can also serve as a squad leader. How about I recommend you to Supervisor Shen and have a team of mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators transferred to your command?"

The sect wars were exceptionally brutal, killing not only soldiers in the mid-stage of Qi Refining, but also squad leaders in the late-stage of Qi Refining, and even captains who had reached the peak of Qi Refining.

After their deaths in battle, the cultivators who had once led them were left without a leader.

The military supervisor will temporarily take command.

Once someone breaks through, they can apply to the military supervisor to form new teams, maximizing the strength of the cultivators under their command.

"Well, Brother Fang, you are the squad leader. If I were to apply to lead a squad, wouldn't I be directly under the command of the supervising officer and separated from Brother Fang?"

"That's true, but people strive for higher positions and water flows downhill. Getting promoted on the battlefield is a good thing. Don't worry, with our friendship, we won't turn against each other," Fang Chen patted Fu Yunzi on the shoulder.

This is true; Fu Yunzi treats people with sincerity, and Fang Chen trusts him quite a bit.

This was the first rogue cultivator recruited, and he also accepted all the long-browed Fang Chen he brought with him.

Therefore, Fang Chen was very happy to see Fu Yunzi break through first.

Unexpectedly, Fu Yunzi shook his head repeatedly and said, "I still prefer to follow Brother Fang. Let's wait and see about the transfer."

Just kidding. He's been through several battles already, and Fuyunzi knows how brutal the battlefield is.

But why were there no casualties in Fang Chen's team?

Aside from the talismans, the most important thing was Fang Chen's command. When you are weak, you must not be greedy. Even when you are strong, you should not be careless. Moreover, the other party is very generous, after all, the military merits are split in half.

Which other unit's sergeants can enjoy such treatment?

Without the military merits shared by Fang Chen, he wouldn't have been able to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining in just a few months.

Even Fu Yunzi had a grateful heart.
