If I made you a special forces soldier, would you become a terrestrial god?

During the three months that the Kunlun team members underwent grueling training, Su Chen also did not stop for a moment.

Deep within Zhenguo Pass lies a secret underground chamber constructed from a special alloy, so heavily guarded that not even a fly could get in. This place has become Su Chen's exclusive forbidden zone.

As the last military heavy truck with a special license plate drove into the base under the cover of night, a logistics department head with the rank of senior colonel personally escorted a heavy metal box to Su Chen, accompanied by two guards.

"Colonel Su, the last three medicinal herbs on the list, 'East China Sea Blood Coral,' 'Tianshan Thousand-Year Snow Lotus Seed,' and 'Shennongjia Wild Tai Sui,' have all been delivered."

The colonel's voice trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly. He looked at the excessively young man before him, his eyes filled with awe. Any item on this list, if it were to fall into the market, would be enough to trigger a frenzy among the wealthiest individuals. The state apparatus had mobilized almost every secret channel to assemble this list, expending immeasurable manpower and resources.

"Thank you for your hard work." Su Chen nodded, gesturing for them to put the boxes down.

The colonel gave a crisp military salute, asked no further questions, and quickly led his men away. He knew very well that he shouldn't ask a single question.

The door to the secret room slowly closed, and the heavy metallic scraping sound echoed in the empty room.

Su Chen's gaze fell on the mountain of rare medicinal herbs. The air was filled with various strange medicinal fragrances, and an ordinary person would probably feel their blood rushing to their head if they smelled them.

Everything is ready.

With a thought, a two-meter-tall bronze alchemy furnace, its entire body a bluish-black, engraved with ancient bird and beast patterns, appeared out of thin air in the center of the secret chamber. The moment the furnace landed, the entire floor of the secret chamber trembled slightly, and a heavy, desolate aura swept over them.

"System, activate alchemy mode!"

[Alchemy mode activated. The host has been detected to possess the alchemy furnace 'Qiankun Creation Cauldron,' increasing the success rate of alchemy by 50% and the quality of the pills by 30%. Please select the type of pill to refine.]

Su Chen took a deep breath and stopped hesitating.

The first thing he needed to refine was the healing pill, the strategic resource that the Kunlun troops would consume the most and that was also the most important in the future.

With a wave of his hand, one by one, the medicinal herbs, each imbued with a rich life force, flew precisely into the alchemy furnace, as if guided by an invisible hand.

"rise!"

Su Chen let out a low shout, his hands formed a seal, and powerful true energy surged out from his body, transforming into an invisible yet extremely hot true fire at the bottom of the alchemy furnace!

There was no blinding flame, only ripples created by the air being distorted by the high temperature.

The medicinal herbs inside the alchemy furnace melted rapidly under the terrifying high temperature, turning into pools of multicolored medicinal liquid. Su Chen kept his eyes closed, and his immense spiritual power extended out, transforming into hundreds of invisible hands that meticulously controlled the fusion, separation, and purification of each medicinal liquid within the furnace.

This is an extremely mentally and physically demanding process.

For seven days and seven nights, Su Chen barely slept.

The underground chamber became a sea of ​​medicinal fragrance, so strong that the aroma had even liquefied, condensing into a layer of glistening dew on the walls.

As the last auxiliary ingredient was added to the alchemy furnace, Su Chen's face turned somewhat pale. He manipulated the true fire, carrying out the final step of the pill-forming process.

The alchemy furnace began to tremble violently, emitting a series of booming sounds like the roars of dragons and tigers.

"Freeze!"

Su Chen suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, and poured all the remaining true energy in his body into the alchemy furnace!

Om-!

With a clear, resounding clang like a bell, the lid of the alchemy furnace slammed open, and a burst of multicolored light erupted from the furnace opening, illuminating the entire secret chamber as bright as day. A rich, intoxicating medicinal fragrance instantly filled the air; just one whiff was enough to restore thirty percent of Su Chen's depleted energy.

With a wave of his hand, hundreds of pills, each the size of a longan, perfectly round, and radiating a shimmering, precious light, flew out of the furnace like swallows returning to their nests and were stored in his system space.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully refined 3000 perfect-quality healing pills!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully refined 3000 perfect-quality internal energy pills!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully refined 3000 perfect-quality Marrow Cleansing Pills!]

Looking at the series of prompts that appeared on the system panel, Su Chen let out a long breath and then sat down against the cold wall, feeling the fatigue coming from his body.

"If I relied entirely on the system for redemption, these tens of thousands of pills would probably drain all my experience points. Let the government provide the raw materials, and I'll be the processing plant—this is a worthwhile deal!"

Su Chen chuckled to himself, feeling no remorse for exploiting national resources.

After a short rest, he started the furnace again. This time, he used even rarer medicinal herbs and was more careful in the refining process.

Longevity pills and beauty pills.

These two kinds of elixirs are the key pieces in his plan for the future.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully refined 200 perfect-quality Longevity Pills!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully refined 200 perfect-quality beauty pills!]

Looking at the two small piles of the most radiant pills in the system space, Su Chen's eyes became deep.

The members of Kunlun use internal energy pills and marrow cleansing pills to build their foundation and healing pills to save their lives. This is enough to give them a survival ability and growth rate far exceeding that of ordinary people on the cruel battlefield in the future.

The Longevity Pills, on the other hand, were sent to the elderly in the capital who truly stood at the pinnacle of power. This wasn't simply flattery, but a form of binding. As long as they enjoyed the benefits of extraordinary power, Kunlun's position would be unshakeable, and his plans would receive top-level support.

Of course, there's also his grandfather, General Su, and his father, Su Zhenguo. With this longevity pill, they will have more time to watch over him and this country as it marches into a new and glorious era.

As for beauty pills...

The image of Du Feifei's exquisite and refined face flashed through Su Chen's mind, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up slightly.

"One is definitely not enough..." He stroked his chin, pondering seriously. "Given my current genetic strength and future status, leaving only one bloodline would be irresponsible to the country and all of humanity. I'm sure those old guys up there will have made corresponding arrangements. Hmm, I should prepare more, just in case things get messy back home."

After doing all this, Su Chen opened the system interface again.

[Host's current experience points balance: 861400 points.]

"With nearly 900,000 experience points, plus this reserve of pills enough to arm an extraordinary legion, Kunlun's foundation has been completely solidified."

Su Chen stood up, dusted himself off, and looked towards the capital city as if his gaze pierced through the thick layers of earth.

National Defense University...

That is the true cradle for cultivating "commanders-in-chief". Although I graduated from the National Defense University with doctorates in more than a dozen specialties, Kunlun is still in its early stages of development, with a relatively shallow foundation and a lack of commanders-in-chief. Kunlun still needs a lot, and in the future, we can recruit a group of high-quality talents from the National Defense University to assist in management.

Just then, the communicator in the secret room suddenly rang.

Su Chen answered the call, and it was Gao Dazhuang's loud voice.

"Captain! All members of the Kunlun team have completed their initial physical training! They are ready to undergo combat testing at any time!"

A relieved smile appeared on Su Chen's face.

"Very good. Let everyone rest for two days and prepare for your graduation exam."

After hanging up the call, the smile in his eyes slowly faded, replaced by a cold, sharp glint.

"The soldiers have been trained; now it's time to hone a true sword of honor."
