"Holy crap!"
"Brother Qin, you really drank all this wine?!"
Waking up, Yu Qian was shocked to see a table full of empty wine bottles.
Yesterday, halfway through drinking, he already knew that Qin Xuan could really hold his liquor.
But who would have thought that this guy could drink so much?!
He quickly took out a cigarette from his storage ring, lit it with a "snap," and sat on the chair with a worried expression, taking a sip.
Seeing this, Qin Xuan scratched his head sheepishly, "I thought you took it out for me to drink freely."
As soon as Yu Qian heard this, he slapped the table, "Hiss—That's right, this wine was taken out for you to drink freely!"
"Hiss—Not only these, if you haven't had enough, I still have some in the Yu family's warehouse!"
While he said that, Yu Qian's worried expression did not ease at all.
His "Immortal Drunk" was troublesome to brew, so the quantity was not very large.
Although he drank it himself every day and persuaded other clan members to drink, he only drank one bottle a day to satisfy his cravings.
Now, with Qin Xuan as a guest, at least sixty to seventy bottles were consumed.
Besides the twenty-two bottles he drank himself, Qin Xuan drank all the rest.
This was more than two months of his reserve!
He drank to his heart's content, but for the next two months, he would have to live frugally.
Qin Xuan saw Old Master Yu smoking half a cigarette at a time with a blank expression, but he was secretly chuckling.
He knew that Old Master Yu would be heartbroken to see such a good thing go, but he also knew how rare effective medicines were on Blue Star for someone at the peak of Qi Refining.
So, since he had such a good opportunity, Qin Xuan naturally did not miss it.
Thanks to these dozens of bottles of Immortal Drunk, his spiritual power limit had increased by a full twenty percent!
And this twenty percent increase also meant that his meridians had become more resilient, and his dantian had become more expansive!
"Old Master Yu, we still have a long time to spend together. I will slowly compensate you in the future!"
Making a silent promise, Qin Xuan changed the subject to the matter of recruitment.
When Old Master Yu heard that he was starting to talk about serious business, he temporarily put aside the loss of his dozens of bottles of wine.
After all, in a few decades, these wines could be replenished, and at worst, he could make do with Erguotou for the time being.
"My idea is to use your prestige, Old Master Yu, to gather all the rogue cultivators in the Northeast and recruit them together."
"If war breaks out, you will be the Northeast United Front Military Officer."
"I believe you can handle this matter."
"Hiss—I can't do it."
"Hoo—I'm just a Golden Core cultivator, how would I know about fighting?"
Upon hearing that Qin Xuan was preparing to let him take charge, Yu Qian's first reaction was to refuse.
Although his cultivation was profound, he was too lazy to get involved in those complicated matters.
Especially with so many rogue cultivators, he didn't know who was at odds with whom, or who had conflicts.
If war really broke out, he would have to worry about them, which would be enough to give him a headache.
However, looking at Qin Xuan's expression, he knew that this idea was not realistic.
After all, he was the one with the highest cultivation among them. If even he didn't manage these rogue cultivators, then no one else could.
So, after much hesitation, he accepted the task.
And after he sent out the notice inviting other rogue cultivators, Qin Xuan revealed his fangs for the first time.
"Those who do not obey, kill!"
"Those who instigate trouble, kill!"
"Those who disobey orders during wartime, kill!"
"Those who desert in battle, kill!"
Four consecutive "kill" words instantly deterred all the rogue cultivators present.
Even Yu Qian, who was standing with him, sensed a chill emanating from Qin Xuan.
Yu Qian did not expect that his seemingly sunny, handsome, and harmless little brother would have such a strong and authoritarian side.
No wonder the arrogant Lie family of Shu City would pledge allegiance to him.
It seemed he had suffered greatly!
Feeling the gazes of everyone present, Qin Xuan couldn't help but let out a wry smile.
As a model youth of the 21st century, he himself strongly disapproved of such violent behavior.
But he also knew that there was no other way.
The cultivation world valued the law of the jungle, and if you weren't strong, others would treat you like a pushover.
Therefore, to recruit everyone in a short period, he had to show his strongest side.
Moreover, "Emotions do not establish affairs, and kindness does not command troops."
These people would be going to war in the future!
If he didn't give them a preventive inoculation now, it would be difficult to take care of everything during wartime.
With Old Master Yu's support and Qin Xuan's firm declaration, all the rogue cultivators present signed the recruitment agreement agreeing to join.
After all agreements were signed, Qin Xuan did not delay, and after swindling another two bottles of Immortal Drunk from Old Master Yu, he headed straight for the Imperial Capital's Central Sea.
When he returned, Lie Xinyuan had already arrived.
Since the Han family in the Northwest did not have any Golden Core cultivators, he quickly suppressed the Han family patriarch as soon as he entered the barrier.
With the cooperation of the Han family patriarch, it was naturally easy to recruit the scattered rogue cultivators.
Now that everything was in place, they were just waiting for the aliens to officially declare war.
Qin Xuan brought back two bottles of Immortal Drunk. One bottle was given to his father and masters to share, and the other was given to Lie Xinyuan to take back to Lie Feng, who had begun his secluded cultivation.
However, just as Lie Xinyuan was preparing to leave the Central Sea and return to Shu City, a lewd voice came from outside.
"Hello everyone on Blue Star, I am Qi Yunxiao, the Commander-in-Chief of Canglan Star."
"I am honored to inform you that Blue Star, this resource-rich asteroid, has been coveted by our Canglan Star Lord, Cao Jin, so in one month, we will fully occupy it."
"At that time, the people of countries that cooperate with us, such as the United States and Japan, will enjoy special preferential treatment, while the people of countries that want to resist stubbornly, hehehe, will have to fend for themselves!"
One month?
So soon?!
As the voice faded, everyone in the Central Sea fell silent.
They had thought that since the United States had not made a clear statement, it meant that these Canglan Star people could not descend to Blue Star for the time being.
But now it seemed that this was entirely a smokescreen on their part.
On the one hand, they let the United States release information slowly to confuse the Dragon Country's attention, and on the other hand, they accelerated their exploration progress to find a way to connect the two planets.
Now it seemed that this method had already been found by the other party.
And one month was the time they needed to open the passage between the two planets.
"Issue an order, the entire Dragon Country will enter a state of war!"
"All air-raid shelters will be reopened, and all reservists will be recalled."
Not long after, Qin Antai immediately gave orders to Dingfeng with a serious expression.
He had long anticipated this moment. Although it was a bit rushed, he was not caught off guard.
Especially since the Dragon Country's successive Dragon Heads had always had foresight.
Those wartime necessities that were useful in the past and might be useful in the future could be fully restored with just one command!
"In addition, the arms factories will begin to manufacture weapons and equipment at full capacity, and all missiles and nuclear bombs will be put on standby!"
"Remember, the invasion of Canglan Star is different from the invasion of certain countries. What we will face in the future is the power of an entire planet!"
"Please, everyone, take this seriously."
"Yes, Dragon Head!"
