The Great Xia Dynasty's Longevity Begins with Connecting to the Swallowed Starry Sky

Chapter 35 Shock, Beginning

Qin Hao checked the time and saw that it was still early, so he decisively left the pass.

Bigu pills and the like have no taste.

He still enjoys the feeling of eating.

Qin Hao had intended to ask Qin Jiang to bring some food over, but after thinking about it, he went to the main courtyard instead and ate with his grandmother.

Qin Hao has a habit of spending time having meals with his grandmother whenever he has time.

This is showing respect to the elderly.

"Grandma, what's for dinner today?" Qin Hao trotted in, and his grandmother was already preparing the meal.

Grandmother was naturally happy to see Qin Hao.

My aunt was also there with me. My uncle and aunt have a son and a daughter.

My eldest brother and uncle are in the Red Dragon Army, and my second sister has joined a sect; neither of them are at home.

Qin Hao usually accompanies his grandmother to meals and chats, and his grandmother dotes on Qin Hao the most.

"You little rascal, you actually came out of seclusion today? Come on, hurry up and serve the young master his meal."

The Great Xia adopted a separate dining system, meaning each person had their own table and a portion of food.

Not having to compete with others is also a form of etiquette.

Various breakfast items made with glutinous rice and wheat, such as rice noodles and steamed buns, are exquisitely prepared.

Qin Zhenyuan was born a blacksmith, but through years of hard work, he has also been granted a noble title.

He even brought his grandmother back from the Wuling Marquis's mansion.

They were all martial artists, so naturally they had big appetites.

Qin Hao was somewhat surprised to find that some meat soup was even prepared for breakfast.

Grandmother smiled and said, "Because of your sect's gene potion, the Crimson Dragon Army has been out in force these past few days and has reaped quite a harvest. There's an extra bit of monster meat at home now, so we have more at every meal, which helps with our cultivation."

This grandmother, though sitting here quietly, is like a lady from a respectable family.

He had a fiery temper when he was young.

This is because she was born into the Wuling Marquis's family, and her great-grandmother was born in the Dragon Palace of Luoxing Lake in Fuyu.

In other words, this grandmother was a dragon girl.

This is a world of cultivation, where dragons and phoenixes naturally exist.

The phoenix is ​​an auspicious mythical creature and is extremely rare.

However, the dragon race possesses wealth across the four seas.

Falling Star Lake in Fuyu County is not very large; it is a branch of the Dragon Clan.

Because it extends deep into the interior, it falls under the jurisdiction of the Great Xia.

This Dragon King also had many connections with the Great Xia Dynasty. Although he was not under the jurisdiction of the Great Xia Dynasty, he still married off many of the Dragon Princesses of the Dragon Palace to various families in the Great Xia Dynasty.

He had a wide circle of acquaintances, and his connections were deeply entangled.

The woman Qin Zhenyuan married was a dragon maiden from who-knows-how-many generations ago; she already possessed human blood, and the concentration of that blood was quite high.

Those with high-ranking dragon bloodlines would not have married Qin Zhenyuan, who had not yet been granted a title at the time.

Qin Hao remained silent. Qin Zhenyuan had a humble background, but he was later granted a title, and his family members all had Confucian masters to teach them etiquette.

The most basic principle is to not speak while eating or sleeping.

Qin Hao ate with his head down, while a servant waited outside.

Martial artists naturally have large appetites, so it's impossible for them to finish all the food on this table.

Fortunately, these things are made using spirit rice and spirit wheat that contain spiritual energy, as well as the meat of demonic beasts.

The exquisite food is made by the Spirit Chef using special methods to remove toxins.

So after changing tables a few times, Qin Hao was full.

Auntie smiled and said, "Seeing how much Qin Hao has eaten, it's clear that his martial arts have improved a lot recently."

Although the amount of food consumed is not directly proportional to the strength of one's martial arts skills.

However, the amount of food consumed also reflects the progress of martial arts to some extent.

Eating a lot means good digestion and that the body needs more energy.

Qin Hao said a few words of modesty, but looking at his grandmother's appetite, it was truly astonishing.

I remember when I first started remembering things, I came to eat with my grandmother, and her appetite was astonishing.

The Dragon Girl's stomach is even more terrifying than an alchemy furnace.

This grandmother's strength is also at the third stage of the second realm, the Core Formation stage. Hmm, perhaps there are some hidden aspects.

This family all likes to hide their strength.

The large yin pen.

After dinner, Qin Zhenyuan returned from outside.

Qin Hao then gave the remaining 500,000 doses of gene serum to Qin Zhenyuan.

Qin Zhenyuan was greatly shocked when he saw so many gene-enhancing drugs for the first time.

Then comes great joy.

"Good, with this batch of gene potions, the Crimson Dragon Army's cultivation will definitely make a major breakthrough soon."

With ample medicinal potions to aid cultivation, and given that the Crimson Dragon Army primarily practices external martial arts, the requirements for physical aptitude are relatively low.

Improving one's realm is relatively easy at lower realms.

But the second stage is difficult.

Qin Hao was also trying to find a solution, which was simply to use a better cultivation aid potion.

Secondly, we need to select some more qualified individuals.

Although cultivation is prevalent in the Qianyang Realm.

However, the poor are skilled in literature while the rich are skilled in martial arts, and there are many commoners who cannot afford to cultivate their talents.

Many are willing to become private soldiers in order to seize an opportunity.

Don't assume that poor people can study just because they are poor in literature and rich in martial arts.

The preciousness of books, coupled with the high cost of writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones, means that only those that are truly exceptional can be sold.

The others, at most, only linger in the first realm.

Recruiting staff is not difficult.

However, we'll leave those aside for now.

Qin Zhenyuan gave Qin Hao a deep look and said, "After this battle, His Majesty will probably have other arrangements. I have already arranged a team of guards for you, but as for the rest, you will probably have to make your own arrangements."

Even if they are grandfather and grandson, there are some things that can't be arranged by them personally.

Qin Hao has a master's school and also does business with his family.

The family relied on Qin Hao to exchange for resources from their sect, paying with various spiritual herbs and minerals.

These also contribute to Qin Hao's sect's contribution points.

That counts as support.

Qin Hao nodded: "That's fine. I also suspect that His Majesty will definitely have further plans."

Otherwise, why would Your Majesty bother with such a trivial matter?

Even a Pure Yang master of the fourth realm might not be a match for Emperor Hengming in the capital.

Such experts usually handle matters of great importance.

How could his battle of wits with Chu Zishao possibly alarm this person?
I just don't know what their backup plan is.

I imagine that Marquis Weiling must have been quite surprised at that moment.
The other party went to the palace to file a complaint, but they never intended to alarm His Majesty.

It could just be a comment from any random official in the cabinet.

Neither the Marquis of Weiling nor the Earl of Anyuan dared to disobey.

Qin Zhenyuan asked one last question: "Are you confident?"

Qin Hao smiled and said, "If it were before today, I would only have a 70% chance of success. After today, I have a 90% chance."

As for the remaining point, it's just a precaution.

Nothing was said that night, and Qin Zhenyuan took away 500,000 vials of gene-enhancing drugs.

He had a storage ring that Qin Hao had always coveted and wanted.

However, now that he has the Hongmeng Mirror, his storage space is almost limitless, so he no longer cares.

"However, we can study the Water of Life in Great Xia these days. Also, we can acquire more resources from the Devouring World."

The next morning.

As soon as Qin Hao got up, Qin Jiang had already brought him toiletries and breakfast.

With everything settled, Qin Hao went outside, where Qin Zhenyuan, his grandmother, and his aunt were already waiting.

"Let's go."
