My strength increases by one percent every day; I can destroy stars with my bare hands.

Over the next few days, the Xuanxin Sect focused on selecting disciples.

Ten days passed quickly, and the selection of all eligible people in Anzhou City and the surrounding areas was completed.

Tens of thousands of people participated in the selection process, but only a little over two hundred passed—a staggering ratio.

Li Xuancang and his family all came to see Li Ling'er and her husband off.

Li Xuancang prepared several thousand taels of silver notes, some pills, and hundreds of low-grade spirit stones.

Spirit stones are indispensable for cultivators, and each one is extremely valuable.

Some Blood Condensation Realm cultivators only have a dozen or so low-grade spirit stones at most, while Li Ling'er has over a hundred spirit stones, which is already considered a considerable resource.

These were all obtained by Li Xuancang with his own military achievements and the help of Du Tianfeng.

"Ling'er, take all of these with you and keep them safe."

"If you encounter any trouble, go to Elder Qingxuan; he will help you."

Li Xuancang did everything he could to arrange everything for Li Ling'er.

"elder brother……"

As she was about to part with her family, Li Ling'er could no longer suppress her emotions; her shoulders trembled, and she sobbed softly.

"Lieutenant Li, rest assured, I will take good care of your sister and ensure she is not mistreated."

Elder Qingxuan then approached and made a promise to Li Xuancang.

"Thank you for your help, senior."

Li Xuancang clasped his hands in greeting to Elder Qingxuan, indicating that the two had made a private deal.

Li Ling'er, with Zhang Cui'er's help, boarded the spaceship, turning back every few steps.

"boom!"

The ground shook, sand and stones flew, and dust billowed. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the spaceship slowly rose and gradually disappeared into the horizon, leaving only a trail behind it.

"Little sister's gone, let's go home!"

Li Xuancang accompanied his parents and eldest sister back to the mansion. Without Li Ling'er, the mansion felt much quieter and colder.

With the Xuanxin Sect's disciple recruitment concluded and the various factions dispersed, Anzhou City returned to its former tranquility.

Li Xuancang devoted most of his time to the military camp every day, training new recruits with all his might, and his efforts have already begun to bear fruit.

All you need to do is go to the battlefield and kill enemies, and experience one or two bloody battles to become an elite.

What pleased Li Xuancang the most was Bai Meng. In just over a month, Bai Meng had undergone a complete transformation.

His previously frail body underwent a second growth spurt, becoming nearly two meters tall, robust and strong, with his divine power constantly increasing.

A single punch carries a terrifying force of at least ten thousand jin (5,000 kg).

His talent for cultivation astonished even Li Xuancang; he was already in the late stage of the Body Tempering Realm and could break through to the Bone Forging Realm at any time.

This kind of cultivation speed is even more terrifying than that of the chosen ones of heaven.

Two months are about to pass, and the day Li Xuancang leaves is drawing ever closer.

Inside Du Tianfeng's tent, Li Xuancang and he were talking.

"Xuan Cang, Liuyun County is the most special among the nine counties of Anzhou. You must be careful when you arrive."

Of the nine prefectures of Anzhou, only five were under the control of the imperial court. Liuyun Prefecture had long since broken free from the court's control and was outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant.

Gangs ran rampant, lawless and unruly, and the government was merely a figurehead.

In recent years, Liuyun County has become increasingly demanding, making it difficult for the imperial court to even collect taxes.

Taxation is the foundation of the imperial court and the basis for maintaining the operation of the dynasty's army. Liuyun County's actions have made the imperial court unable to tolerate them any longer.

"According to sources, Prince Fu has been in contact with the forces of Liuyun County, and they may have already defected."

Du Tianfeng looked grave; the situation in Liuyun County was extremely complicated.

If they hadn't known Li Xuancang's strength, neither he nor Du Tianhao would have allowed Li Xuancang to go to Liuyun County.

"You must proceed cautiously and avoid causing too much trouble, so that Liuyun County can return to the control of the imperial court."

Du Tianfeng placed high hopes on Li Xuancang, hoping that Li Xuancang could resolve the long-standing troubles of Liuyun County.

"Rest assured, sir, I will do my best."

Li Xuancang knew that Liuyun County was a very troublesome place, but he was full of confidence in his own strength.

More than two months have passed since the battle of Xuanyang City, and his strength has increased significantly again. He doesn't even know how strong he is now.

Even if he were to fight to the death with Du Tianfeng, who was in the late stage of the Qi Refining Realm, he was confident that he could wear Du Tianfeng down.

Du Tianfeng nodded and said, "You don't need to worry about your family's safety. I will take care of them personally."

Du Tianfeng also assured Li Xuancang that he would take care of his family.

Li Xuancang is now a captain, and his residence is guarded by soldiers. Du Tianfeng also sends people to patrol frequently, so he is safe and sound.

"Thank you, sir."

Li Xuancang initially wanted to bring his parents and eldest sister to Liuyun County, but after thinking about it, he gave up on the decision.

The situation in Liuyun County is unclear, and my trip there will inevitably lead to a conflict with the forces of Liuyun County. Bringing my family along would only hinder me.

Leaving family members in Anzhou City would actually be safer, and I wouldn't have to worry about anything.

"The imperial army has begun to assemble, preparing to attack Prince Fu. Anzhou will also mobilize its entire army. That day will come soon, so you should prepare in advance."

General Du Tianfeng informed Li Xuancang of a secret military matter.

With Prince Fu openly rebelling, the imperial court could not remain indifferent.

After much back and forth between various factions, an agreement was finally reached, and the imperial court has begun to mobilize troops to take action against Yunzhou.

Anzhou and Yunzhou are adjacent. When a major battle breaks out, Anzhou will inevitably be involved, and Li Xuancang will also be transferred to the battlefield.

Upon hearing this, Li Xuancang showed no fear of battle, only a strong fighting spirit.

Only in such a major battle could he establish sufficient merit, and Li Xuancang was already somewhat impatient.

After speaking with Du Tianfeng, Li Xuancang began preparing to leave.

"Ling'er just left, and you're leaving again. There's almost no one left in the house."

Upon learning that her son was about to go to Liuyun County, Li's mother was very depressed and couldn't even eat.

"Mother, once I've settled everything, I'll send someone to pick you up."

Li Xuancang tried his best to comfort his mother.

"Big sister, brother-in-law, I'm leaving the house in your care."

Li Xuancang walked towards his eldest sister and Zhang Erzhu.

"Don't worry, little brother! I'll take care of things at home."

Li Xiu's eyes were slightly red, and she was on the verge of tears, while Dou Dou in her arms kept struggling.

"Uncle, hug me, uncle, hug me..."

Li Xuancang gently held Dou Dou in his arms, and the little guy smiled so hard his eyes curved into crescent moons.

"Xuan Cang, don't worry, I will do my best to take care of the family. You are all alone out there, so you need to take good care of yourself."

Zhang Erzhu, showing his true feelings, told Li Xuancang to take good care of himself while traveling.

Zhang Erzhu has changed a lot during this period.

Although still selfish, he has become more responsible.

Li Xuancang found him a job in the government, working under Huang Tianyun.

Because of Li Xuancang's influence, no one dared to make things difficult for him, and he lived a relaxed and comfortable life.

Zhang Erzhu also gained some experience and realized that the whole family was supported by Li Xuancang, and Li Xuancang absolutely could not be allowed to get into trouble.

"Xuan Cang, these are the clothes your mother made for you."

As they parted, Li's mother handed Li Xuancang several sets of clothes, which she had painstakingly sewed late into the night.

Li Xuancang took the clothes, feeling uneasy. He glanced at his family and then turned to leave.
