Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield Chapter 809 - 327: Zhao Feng Leaves Seclusion! Unveiling the Secret Behind Xu Fu! (3)

It could be said that contribution points had truly become the predominant system in Qin. These points could not only be traded for Qin currency but also used to purchase virtually anything within the realm, making them increasingly universal. It was envisioned that one day, traditional currency might become obsolete in Qin, with contribution points emerging as the true medium of exchange.

"Since such is the situation," Zhao Feng promptly decreed, "salaries will henceforth be disbursed in the form of contribution points, effective immediately."

"The Crown Prince is wise," the assembled ministers declared in unison.

"Father, once the Tu An nations are completely vanquished, Baiyue should also be reclaimed by Qin," Zhao Feng added with a smile.

"Indeed," Ying Zheng replied. "I have already dispatched Wang Ben to muster the troops and generals. However, Baiyue is a wild territory, shrouded in poisonous miasma and teeming with deadly toxins. Wang Ben is still deliberating on the optimal deployment of his forces," Ying Zheng stated with a slight smile.

"Clearing the miasma is a simple matter. We shall construct an irrigation canal, directing water into Baiyue to cleanse the poisonous atmosphere. As for the venomous insects, the Elixir Hall can devise some repellent medicine," Zhao Feng proposed.

"Qin is no longer a mere mortal kingdom; it is a nation of martial arts. Even warfare cannot be assessed by the old standards," Zhao Feng elaborated.

"Do you senior generals comprehend?" Ying Zheng inquired, looking at Wang Jian and the other generals with a faint smile.

"We understand, Your Majesty," the generals responded in unison.

"Very well," Ying Zheng nodded. "Ministers, please continue your discussions. Today, during this morning session, my sole directive is to expand our military forces with utmost effort and gather provisions with all diligence."

"Upon my return, Qin will undergo expansion on a grand scale. Beyond Shenzhou, Qin aims to survey the entire world," Zhao Feng declared with a smile, addressing both the ministers and generals. The unadulterated ambition in his tone was evident.

"Understood, Your Majesty!" the ministers eagerly affirmed.

"Shaofu."

"I intend to visit Guiguzi. You shall accompany me," Zhao Feng stated, looking towards Yu Liao.

"I shall prepare the carriage immediately, Your Majesty," Yu Liao responded promptly.

"A carriage is no longer necessary," Zhao Feng said with a smile, walking towards Yu Liao.

He then raised his hand. The previously serene void suddenly rippled and then fractured, much like a mirror. Zhao Feng grasped Yu Liao’s shoulder, pulling him directly into the shattering void. Both figures stepped through the distortion.

In the ensuing moment, they vanished instantly from the Morning Discussion Hall.

Witnessing this spectacle, all the ministers were rendered speechless.

"The might of Immortals!"

"They simply dissolved into thin air!"

"The Crown Prince's power has already ascended to the Immortal realm!"

"So formidable…"

The ministers were filled with even greater awe at Zhao Feng's display of immortal-like abilities. Meanwhile, Ying Zheng remained seated firmly on his throne, a faint smile gracing his lips.

...

Guiguzi!

"Oh?"

Seated atop the mountain peak, Guiguzi suddenly sensed a disturbance and turned his gaze backward. The void stirred and then shattered. Two figures emerged directly from the spatial rupture.

Upon seeing the pair, a smile adorned Guiguzi's face.

"Mr. Zhao, you have finally arrived," Guiguzi greeted with a smile.

"Elder Guigu, it has been a considerable time," Zhao Feng replied, returning the polite greeting.

"Disciple greets the teacher," Yu Liao then knelt, offering a deep bow to Guiguzi.

"Oh?" Guiguzi’s gaze settled upon Yu Liao, a look of surprise surfacing.

"Why do you possess such potent Qi Fortune?"

"Furthermore, this Qi Fortune seems to be completely integrated into your very being," Guiguzi inquired, astonishment evident in his voice.

"Teacher," Yu Liao explained, "this is the Cultivation Technique bestowed by the Crown Prince, titled 'Cast Minister’s Responsibility'. All ministers of Qin can cultivate this bestowed technique, refine their divine souls, draw the nation's fortune into their bodies, receive its protection, and even utilize it to repel adversaries."

"Should one cultivate to the deepest level, they can achieve coexistence with the nation. Even in death, they may be resurrected within the national fortune."

Faced with his teacher, and acknowledging the trust placed in him by the Crown Prince, Yu Liao spoke with complete candor.

"Coexist with the nation, resurrected in national fortune?"

Hearing this revelation, Guiguzi's expression shifted to one of profound surprise.

"Would this not be akin to the True Gods of the Heavenly Court?" Guiguzi mused, his tone laced with disbelief.

"Indeed," Zhao Feng confirmed.

"If Qin's national fortune elevates to a stronger level, its ministers indeed become akin to the True Gods of the Heavenly Court, even if they perish, they can be resurrected from the Investiture of the Gods."

"However, Qin’s national fortune is more flexible compared to the limitations of the Investiture of the Gods."

"The True Gods from the Investiture of the Gods find it difficult to enhance their strength, but Qin’s ministers grow stronger as the nation grows stronger." Zhao Feng smiled.

After the ministers cultivate the ’Cast Minister’s Responsibility’, they are bound to Qin.

If the nation declines, they will fall too.

The national fortune grants them strength and longevity, naturally, they must also give their lives.

A sip and a bite.

This is how it is.

"For Qin, this is indeed a path where the nation’s glory is shared."

"And for many without cultivation talent, treading this path is also excellent." Guiguzi chuckled.

However.

With a change in tone.

Guiguzi looked at Zhao Feng: "Mr. Zhao, how do you know of the Investiture of the Gods? And how are you aware of the True Gods of the Heavenly Court?"

"By a stroke of luck." Zhao Feng smiled, responding.

"You have many secrets."

"A martial path never heard of, now this method of cultivation through national fortune."

"Either of these could cause a stir in the Earth Immortal Realm; you are truly intriguing." Guiguzi said with great emotion.

"Elder Gui Gu."

"Today my visit to Guiguzi is to fulfill a promise made before."

"Would Elder Gui Gu be willing to descend the mountain, assist Qin, and contribute to its strength?" Zhao Feng gazed at Guiguzi, asking solemnly.

The purpose of this visit is precisely for this.

To enlist Guiguzi into Qin, which presents an opportunity for Qin, and an opportunity for Guiguzi.

"Upon joining Qin, what will I gain?" Guiguzi asked Zhao Feng, gazing intently.
