Over in the Imperial City, since the Fourth Prince and the Crown Prince have started a new round of overt and covert power struggles, Qin Tian’s side has become relatively peaceful.

At this time, the Ice Emperor is somewhat struggling to control the Tianyuan Dynasty. Various lords and forces are secretly recruiting troops and cultivating their own armies, ready to make a move.

Upon returning to West State, Qin Tian also realized the importance of military strength.

Without the forty thousand troops stationed in West State, Murong Fei and I would have likely already perished in the Imperial City.

Therefore, on one hand, he instructed Zhou Yang and Zhao Lanjin to intensify recruitment and training of soldiers, while on the other hand, he began constructing defensive walls throughout West State, stockpiling spirit stones and food to prepare for any possible events in the future.

”I have decided to establish an elite unit, an invincible operational force, our ace army in West State!”

After days of careful consideration, Qin Tian said to Zhou Yang and the others.

Lin Yu and Xiao Zhuang immediately nodded in agreement: ”That’s a great idea!”

Duan Xiaodao also replied: ”We had Dragon Soul before; now, in the Spiritual Domain, we indeed can establish an incredibly powerful team as our backbone.”

Zhou Yang suggested: ”I propose we name this unit the Qin Family Army.”

”Qin Family Army… imposing and majestic, the boss’s troops. I think Qin Family Army is a great name!”

Xiao Zhuang immediately raised both hands in agreement.

Qin Tian immediately convened an expanded meeting, gathering all senior generals in West State to discuss the matters regarding the Qin Family Army in the city.

Xu Kuan, Ye Kun, Che Aijun, Zuo Yuanhao, and others fully supported the idea, simultaneously suggesting the Qin Family Army should not only select elite soldiers from West State but broaden the selection scope, recruiting top talents from the entire domain.

This was actually also Qin Tian’s initial thought.

To form a unit, it must be a force that sends shivers down one’s spine.

There is no limit to the total number of the Qin Family Army, but the strength requirements have a minimum threshold, which is, must be above Small Immortal Realm strength.

This requirement instantly dashed the hopes of most people wanting to join the Qin Family Army, even Xiao Zhuang and Lin Yu jested that they were utterly unqualified.

”Old Four, you will be responsible for the Qin Family Army.”

During the meeting, Qin Tian suddenly said to Duan Xiaodao.

Duan Xiaodao froze for a moment, saying: ”Me?”

Besides Zhou Yang, Lin Yu, and a few others who came from Earth with Duan Xiaodao, Zuo Yuanhao, Xu Kuan, and others showed surprised looks, evidently taken aback by Qin Tian’s decision.

They did not know about Qin Tian and Duan Xiaodao’s relationship, so were puzzled as to why Qin Tian entrusted such a significant unit representing West State to someone who had just pledged allegiance to him?

Seeing the confusion among everyone, Qin Tian explained: ”I’ve known Duan Xiaodao for over twenty years. Lin Yu, Xiao Zhuang, Duan Xiaodao, and I—we are like brothers. We used to hang out on Earth together before coming to the Spiritual Domain, so rest assured, Old Four is definitely trustworthy.”

Having heard Qin Tian’s explanation, Xu Kuan and others nodded in agreement.

Qin Tian continued: ”Currently in the West State Army, the highest cultivations are General Zhao Lanjin and you, Old Four. Old Zhao has other assignments, so you must oversee the formation of the Qin Family Army. I believe with your Late Stage Small Immortal Realm strength, no one would oppose this, right?”

Qin Tian glanced at everyone, noticing their agreement upon hearing about Duan Xiaodao’s cultivation level.

In West State, there are fewer than a hundred generals at Early Stage Small Immortal Realm. Above the early stage, there are only five people, among whom only Zhao Lanjin has reached the Late Stage Small Immortal Realm, akin to Duan Xiaodao; others can only look up.

At this point, Duan Xiaodao no longer refused and said: ”Since the boss has given me a new task, I will not fail in my duty and will strive to quickly form a strong Qin Family Army!”

Qin Tian shook his head with a bitter smile, stating: ”Quickly might be challenging. After checking with Old Zhou, we found we have over a hundred troops of Small Immortal Realm strength, all in leading positions… Therefore, I need to see which leaders are willing to give up their positions and join the Qin Family Army.”

”Of course, even if they all joined, they wouldn’t be enough. A few dozen people can’t achieve much; you also need to think about recruiting and poaching people from other places. As long as we can recruit loyal masters, no cost is too high. For this, I have ample financial support.”

Qin Tian stared at Duan Xiaodao, realizing the enormity of the task since the number is severely insufficient.

”Every soldier of the Qin Family Army receives at least five hundred High Grade Spirit Stones monthly, and parents and children are all provided for free, with a monthly living allowance of five hundred High Grade Spirit Stones!”

Qin Tian considered for a moment and offered this proposition.

Upon hearing this, everyone was startled.

Calculating the cost, one Qin Family Army soldier would require just about a thousand High Grade Spirit Stones per month? This is excessively lavish!

Needless to say, ordinary Immortality Cultivators find it hard to earn even a hundred High Grade Spirit Stones annually, but Qin Family Army soldiers...? This is extravagance!

Seeing the stunned expressions of everyone, Qin Tian laughed and said: ”That’s not all; each month, we will distribute cultivation immortality elixirs, and employ immortality cultivator experts to teach top-level cultivation immortality techniques until they are learned!”

”Whew!”

The meeting room collectively gasped, staring at Qin Tian dumbfoundedly, unable to believe he offered such a irresistible joining condition!

”Boss, I’m tempted to join with terms like these…” Lin Yu chuckled.

”Can I? I think I’m qualified.” Xiao Zhuang laughed as well.

”Get lost.”

Qin Tian looked at them, speechless, ”Your cultivations aren’t sufficient, step aside.”

Afterwards, Qin Tian said to Zhou Yang: ”Old Zhou, what I’ve mentioned all counts, take note. Each month allocate a special fund for the Qin Family Army; our initial recruitment target is one hundred people, you must ensure enough financial readiness.”

Zhou Yang laughed, saying: ”Boss, no problem, since we secured West State, financial stability is guaranteed; even for a thousand people, there’d be no pressure.”

”Currently, and possibly in the future, even more than ten thousand,” Qin Tian said looking at Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang’s face stiffened: ”Over ten thousand… whew, that expenditure’s a bit hefty, I’ll have to prepare early.”

”Boss, currently I can recruit a few previous trusted generals who meet all joining criteria, and I assure their loyalty.”

Duan Xiaodao recalled his old subordinates from the Imperial City and said: ”There are hundreds of cultivation immortality sects and camps in West State; we can try exploring talent from there.”
