  "This Sealing Charm is my life's work, only my Incense Flame Faith System can use it, it can be said to be the patented product of this immortal master!"

  It's a great achievement to be able to create such a useful high-level talisman, and it's even more remarkable that it belongs to the Xianghuo faith. Zhang Xu is extremely satisfied, but unfortunately, creating high-level talismans is quite difficult. Otherwise, he could quickly cultivate more usable talents among his followers.

  "Hmm, this thing, let's keep it for now and use it as a reward later!"

  "Come in!" he said after a moment's hesitation.

  Now sitting in the county magistrate's mansion, the conditions are much better than when he was in Qinglin Town. Zhang Xu also specially arranged for servants and maids to serve him. At this time, a servant came forward, knelt down and knocked his head, saying: "Master Xian, I'm here!"

  "Hurry up and call General Wu Zhong over, and also have General Wu Qing, who is on guard duty, come over too!"

  After some thought, Zhang Xu hesitated for a moment before speaking.

  Wu Qing made great contributions in this campaign against Chang County, and was very ruthless in confiscating the property of local landlords. This not only saved Zhang Xu a lot of trouble but also resulted in the emergence of brave soldiers from the two battalions he trained, which should be rewarded. Although Wu Zhong did not appear this time, he led his troops to guard the foundation of Qinglin Town with great diligence and hard work, and Zhang Xu also rewarded him at the same time.

  Only Guan Hai is now temporarily outside patrolling the border and guarding the safety of the entire Qinglin Town, but it can only be appreciated another day.

  "Yes, Great Elder Xian!"

  The servant bowed his head and obeyed the order, going down to summon Wu Qing and Wu Zhong, the two generals.

  Of the two Wu Zhong, was a personal guard, responsible for leading three hundred people to guard the safety of the government office, while Wu Qing led two battalions guarding the entire Chang County city.

  Before long, the two generals came together and entered. They first paid their respects to Zhang Xu. Now the whole Chang County is living in peace and prosperity. Moreover, they heard that a large number of female laborers can also work, which is a symbol of prosperity. Women during the Han Dynasty were not as restricted as they were during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. At this time, although women's status was low, it did not mean that they could not show their faces in public.

  Moreover, the reason for women's low status is that in this era of agricultural production, only strong men can do it, while women can only do some needlework and have no economic status, naturally they have no rights.

  This time, the workshop area started to recruit women to work and earn money, which is a big deal for supplementing family income. It's a good thing that brings peace and happiness to the people. The two of them also heard about it and admired Zhang Xu's approach even more.

  Now Wu Qing, although he had been subdued for a short time, was also deeply devoted. Zhang Xu looked at the two of them with satisfaction as they kowtowed and worshipped the incense fire. Only then did he stand up, smiling and saying: "The two generals have worked hard. This time, I have researched and created new talismans, so I will reward you both!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, with a flick of his finger, two talismans were sent out. The two generals received the talismans and although they felt that the talismans had an extraordinary aura, they did not know how to use them.

  "May I ask, venerable immortal master, what is this talisman?"

  Wu Zhong quickly came to know Zhang Xu and Shan. If he didn't understand something, he would ask, and at the moment, he also asked clearly and respectfully with his head bowed.

  Wu Qing on the side also calmed down a bit, with an expectant look in her eyes.

  "Haha, this thing is a 'Condensed Qi Symbol' that can help you concentrate your mind and hold your breath. At critical moments, use my secret method to directly apply it to you, temporarily increasing your vital energy and enhancing your strength!"

  Zhang Xu smiled and explained the use and method, and the two generals were overjoyed, hastily bowing their heads again. This immortal master's secret method was extraordinary, Wu Zhong had said so before, and Wu Qing had also experienced its effects. Now, hearing about the Condensing Qi Symbol, its effect was even stronger than before. Even Zhang Xu was being cautious, only rewarding it to the two of them. Unaware of its divine efficacy, they eagerly put it on, immediately feeling their minds clear up a lot, their thoughts more peaceful, and their mood more serene.

  As they were all military generals, they naturally knew that this effect was extraordinary, and immediately thanked Zhang Xu repeatedly for his reward.

  "Hmm, alright, you two don't need to be so polite. Now, the main task is to train a strong and elite army for me. Alright, if there's nothing else, you can withdraw!"

  After finishing speaking, Zhang Xu waved his sleeves and the two generals knocked their heads before getting up to bid farewell.

  "Ah, I hope both of them gain something from this!"

  Having looked at the two, Zhang Xu let out a soft sigh and said, "Wu Qing is still good, his cultivation speed is still decent, but now he's also almost reaching the limit of his own potential. As for Wu Zhong, he has commoner potential, being able to cultivate essence blood is already a blessing, I hope he can rely on the symbol arrow to help him have another stroke of luck."

  "Let's not mention this for now, let's focus on cultivation first!"

  He immediately Zhang Xu is diligent in transporting the essence of blood, using the power of incense and faith to stimulate the body's essence of blood, merging it with the primordial energy of heaven and earth, slowly and steadily improving. Now he has reached the advanced stage of refining the essence into energy, which is a grinding process. At this point, his original destiny pattern has just broken through, and compared to before, it is naturally much faster. However, as for the high-level stage of refining the essence into energy, the difficulty of advancing upwards also increases, but only by dripping water on stone can there be progress!

  "It seems that the power of incense faith still needs to be improved, and luck also needs to be increased, only then can we make rapid progress again. All this will have to wait until next year, for now, it's just slow progress!"

  A faint stir in his heart, Zhang Xu looked forward to next year's war.

  At this time, at a checkpoint in Chang County, Guan Hai led his troops to annihilate another small-scale team. However, his brow furrowed slightly: "The scouts and spies entering the area over the past two days have increased significantly, including some remnants of the Yellow Turbans. It seems like a storm is brewing!"

  Guan Hai said, and immediately summoned a cavalryman, saying: "Hurry to the county town and report to Master Xian, let Master Xian know about the situation of these two days!"

  "Yes!"

  The cavalry saluted respectfully and then rode away.

  "I've long known that the great achievements of Master Xian would attract some enemies' plots. However, since my family is now under Master Xian's command as a general, I will naturally exert all my efforts. Chang County is a paradise on earth and the foundation of Master Xian's cause. I won't allow anyone to invade it. If you dare to invade my Chang County, I'll make sure you know the consequences!"

  After finishing speaking, Kuang Hai's body suddenly revealed a powerful aura, and the distance to break through the Refining Qi stage was almost just one step away!
