After the two camps reached an agreement, Chen Guan and Jiang Tianqing left together, with Jiang Tianqing leaving a few team members behind to keep watch, preventing another conflict between the two teams.
"Chen Guan, when you have time, why not help me train some soldiers? My batch of recruits is really hopeless," Jiang Tianqing asked with a smile.
"I don't know anything about leading soldiers. The Vanguard Camp is now managed by An Yiqi, and I'm just a nominal figurehead," Chen Guan quickly shook his head, having no time to train troops.
Jiang Tianqing said, "We both came out from the Reserve Team, you don't need to be modest with me. How about this, you help me train the soldiers? I'm not expecting them to reach the level of the Pet Corps like the Vanguard Camp, but as long as they can cooperate smoothly and meet basic Battle Array requirements, that's fine. As a token of gratitude, I'll give you a pass from the Jiang Family. With this card, you can enter the Secret Realm City and some Secret Spirit resource areas under the Jiang Family's control. How about it?"
"We'll see." In the past, Chen Guan would have certainly agreed.
But now he didn't lack these resources; it's mainly because his upgrade speed was too slow, and his body couldn't digest resources quickly enough. It's not a matter of lacking resources.
Seeing Chen Guan's reluctance, Jiang Tianqing couldn't do much, as he didn't have many resources to offer. After all, the Jiang Family wouldn't give too much to the younger generation; most resources were in the hands of the older generation.
Chen Guan returned to continue fishing and cultivating by the Yellow Springs River, as cultivation was important. Fishing also provided extra food for Ghost Eye and Rouge.
With the face of the Eight Kings, Chen Guan never returned empty-handed when fishing in the Yellow Springs River. However, what he could catch depended on his own skills and luck.
The truck-sized giant turtle would always drive fish towards Chen Guan, but it couldn't guarantee what he would reel in, as it couldn't hang the fish on Chen Guan's hook.
At night, Chen Guan was sleeping soundly with Ji Nanhong in his arms when suddenly he felt a light outside the window, as if someone was shining a strong flashlight through their window.
Chen Guan was awakened, he removed his hand that was comfortably resting on Ji Nanhong's chest, and withdrew his leg draped over Ji Nanhong. Looking at the light outside the window, he cursed in a low voice, "Who is so shameless, shining a light at the window in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"
Seeing that Ji Nanhong was still asleep, Chen Guan got up, pulled on a piece of clothing, and went out to see who was so bored.
Not many people would do such a thing; Chen Guan could only think of Duan Shulin and An Yiqi. These two always had some whimsical ideas without warning.
But when Chen Guan went out, he found a carriage parked outside their house.
The carriage was pulled by eight horses of different colors. These eight horses were truly magnificent, each one exceptionally majestic with glossy, shiny coats and bright eyes.
There was a pure white horse, shimmering more than a Zhaoye Lion Horse.
There were entirely red horses, all-black horses, and even yellow, purple, gray horses, and surprisingly, green and blue horses. They looked very peculiar, but they didn't seem dyed.
The key was that these horses were much smaller than average, not even a meter tall, although they were majestic, their size was miniature like ponies for children.
The carriage they were pulling was also colorful and elaborate, with a Luminous Pearl the size of a soccer ball on top of the carriage.
The strong light earlier was emitted from this Luminous Pearl.
"Who brought such a peculiar carriage here?" Chen Guan wondered secretly, looking around, and suddenly shivered.
This was, after all, the base of the Qilin Corps. Although it was midnight, there should be at least one patrolling soldier.
The whole military base was dead silent, as if no one was there at all.
Cold sweat broke out immediately on Chen Guan's forehead; he had been half-asleep, but was now suddenly awake. Such strong light, how could Ji Nanhong not react at all and remain in deep sleep? It was illogical.
Chen Guan immediately summoned the Profound Celestial Infinite Divine Armor onto his body, preparing for battle.
But then the carriage door opened, an invisible suction seemed to pull Chen Guan's body, instantly drawing him into the carriage.
The door closed automatically, and a few horse cries were heard, then the cab quickly moved.
The horses were small, and so was the cab; being sucked into the cab, Chen Guan's body was in a weird tangled posture, like an acrobat's contortion act.
Chen Guan wanted to use the Pure Yang Sword Immortal to break the cab apart, but found he didn't have an ounce of strength, his body felt light and unreal, with a refreshing fragrance lingering at his nose tip.
"Is this a dream?" thought Chen Guan as the carriage sped forth, strangely without feeling any bumpiness.
Glancing out the window, Chen Guan was somewhat startled to see bright silver moonlight outside and an endless Cloud Sea.
This tiny carriage was actually traveling above the clouds, making Chen Guan's expression turn more complex: "If this isn't a dream, what kind of entity is the owner of this carriage? Why do they want to capture me?"
While thinking, another horse cry sounded, then the carriage lowered its altitude as it moved, and besides the Cloud Sea, other sceneries started appearing outside the window.
"This is..." Chen Guan looked at the mountainous terrain outside, feeling a bit familiar. After thinking for a while, he realized this was just outside the Valley of Hundred Beasts, where he had been during the day, right?
While he was absorbed in thought, the scenery outside the window darkened, the car brushing past the mountainside, seeming to have traveled a long distance.
When it brightened again, he indeed saw the Valley of Hundred Beasts, full of exotic flowers and rare Lingzhi.
But it was somewhat different from when he visited during the day; there were indeed many Secret Spirit beasts within the Valley of Hundred Beasts now.
There were lions, tigers, foxes, wolves, lynxes, horses, cows, sheep, deer, etc. But like those eight little horses, these Secret Spirit beasts were all miniature versions, appearing less ferocious and more lovable.
The carriage moved on, Chen Guan attempted every possible method, yet his body remained limp with no strength, unable to escape the carriage, being pulled continuously forward.
Gradually, besides the black, white, and gray, colorful Lingzhi started appearing, and their sizes grew larger.
They started out as large as millstones; later, some Lingzhi were as immense as houses, resembling natural Lingzhi dwellings.
"Could Zhu Hongzhi's story about the Old Ginseng Mountain be true!" Chen Guan's expression turned quirky, feeling something ominous stirring inside.
