My Cultivation Starting from Archery

It is said that Mo Zhu has a grandson with a Mid-grade Spirit Root, who is wholeheartedly pursuing the Dao but lacks resources.

"Oh! Thank you, Daoist Xiao!"

Mo Zhu cheerfully took out several talismans for exchange.

His signature Earth Tunneling Talisman is still somewhat useful for Chen Sansi.

After saying goodbye.

Chen Sansi directly returned to the Eastern Continent.

...

Han Dynasty, Chang'an.

Sky Wall City.

After several years, this city built for the training of the court's army is almost complete, originally constructed against a mountain, thus covering a vast area.

But so far, many areas are still vacant.

For instance, the place for raising spiritual beasts only contains Qian Xun, blue birds, Golden Beasts, and a few Mortal Exotic Beasts.

Having stayed long in the Sky Water Continent, Chen Sansi has gained a clearer understanding of the cultivation levels of Demon Beasts.

Demons and beasts share the same roots, but due to various reasons, their cultivation methods differ.

Beast Cultivation primarily relies on nature's spiritual energy.

As for the Demon Clan, most cultivate through "Demon Veins." Comparatively, demon cultivation is more skilled in magic battles, while beast cultivation focuses on a more robust physical form, awakening innate bloodline abilities.

The first four realms of beast cultivation are Spirit Aperture, Second Realm Body Essence, Third Realm Beast Pill, and Fourth Realm Transformation.

The first four realms of the Demon Clan's cultivation are First Realm Demon Soldier, Second Realm Demon Mansion, Third Realm Demon Core, and Fourth Realm Transformation.

To Chen Sansi's surprise, during his absence, Qian Xun, relying on the Spiritual Grain planted in Sky Wall City, has already reached the Late Stage of Spirit Aperture Realm.

"Not bad, within just a few years, if counting on the Immortal Path alone, you've already kept pace with me."

He gently stroked the mane with satisfaction.

Qian Xun raised its neck and neighed softly.

Chen Sansi mounted the saddle, and before the warhorse beneath him galloped forward, spiritual energy transformed into clouds, eventually forming a pair of wings, accelerating its speed until soaring to the skies, its speed barely slower than the sword flight speed of a cultivator in the Late Stage of Qi Refining!

"Great, it seems I can take you along when going out in the future."

He returned to the ground after a lap in the clouds.

Additionally.

The blue bird has already reached the Middle Stage of Spirit Aperture, with wings spread as wide as an adult's arm span.

It's not far from the Late Stage, and recently it keeps chirping, never forgetting the day years ago when it was injured by a Cold Iron Bird outside Qiantang Prefecture, hoping to exact revenge someday.

The Golden Beast has reached the Late Stage, its size akin to a tiger, and is naturally ferocious, often quarrelling with the blue bird.

The White Jade Snake, bought from Daze Fang City by Chen Sansi, is also at the Middle Stage of Spirit Aperture, approximately the length of an arm.

At this moment.

The White Jade Snake lies beside his neck, munching on a Spirit Stone as its meal.

"Still growing too slowly!"

Chen Sansi's Purple Thunder Bow still lacks a bowstring.

If the White Jade Snake were Second-tier, I could use it directly.

After attending to the Spiritual Pets, Chen Sansi arrived at the Sky Wall City training ground.

On the vast White Jade Square, there are now not only martial artists like Wei Xuan and Wang Zhi, but also over a hundred unfamiliar faces.

Upon seeing Emperor Tianwu, they all bowed in unison.

"Greetings to Your Majesty, the Emperor!"

"Long live His Majesty, long live the Emperor ten thousand years!"

In the Han Dynasty, unless required by rituals or important occasions, kneeling is unnecessary, and this applies to citizens towards officials as well.

Respect is not determined by kneeling.

"Your Majesty."

Xu Wencai stepped forward and said, "In the past year, Ning Xiang and Zhaozhao meticulously selected one hundred and twenty individuals with Spirit Roots to join the court's Forbidden Army.

"Additionally, five hundred individuals with Spirit Roots from the original camp soldiers have been temporarily chosen to join the Forbidden Army.

"Currently totaling six hundred and twenty people.

"Coupled with the elite of Beiliang, forming a Forbidden Army of fifteen thousand, training day and night, constantly awaiting the opportunity to crusade against Sky Water."

"You've done well."

Chen Sansi's gaze swept across the training ground.

He truly lacks resources; while his own cultivation is manageable, it's unrealistic to support a large group of people.

Among these six hundred with Spirit Roots, most solely rely on the Spiritual Energy of the Spiritual Pearls, with almost no Elixir Pills or other aids.

But this is just the beginning; recruiting troops is a step-by-step process.

"Your Majesty! I have a suggestion!"

Sima Yao stepped forward with folded hands.

Chen Sansi said calmly, "Go ahead."

"Every troop should have its own title."

Sima Yao said solemnly, "Just like the Beiliang Army back then, renowned throughout the Eastern Continent, the Forbidden Army should also have a new title."

"I have an idea."

Xu Wencai said, holding a Feather Fan, "Our Han Dynasty court is unlike any previous dynasty, our vision is not confined to the Eastern Continent, and our foes are no longer mere mortals, but the cultivation sects far away in the Sky Water Continent.

"Since this is so, the Han Dynasty should be called the Heavenly Dynasty, the court should be called the Heavenly Court, and our troops should be called — the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals!"
