Chapter 20

Feng Yin was staring blankly at a pile of things.

So many cat foods!

No, so many elixirs!

Feng Yin was utterly stunned.

Don't say that Director Feng has never seen the world; it's because he has never seen the world.

Why would someone suddenly stack up so many high-grade elixirs, directly stunning the poor Feng Yin!

Are all these for me?

Feng Yin began to doubt his life.

He even didn't feel offended by He Biqu's comment about his poor talent, and was even a bit smug: My talent was indeed poor before, but now, I have a cheat.

Staring at the elixirs for a while, his face suddenly turned grim.

He Biqu and Wu Tiejun were somewhat impressed.

It seemed that Doctor Feng had indeed seen the world, and didn't even bat an eye at these things, far from being as stunned as an ordinary person.

He even looked somewhat disdainful and angry—

The reason Feng Yin's face turned grim was that he instantly thought of the two bowls of medicine Xu Lao San had drunk, and suddenly felt heartache.

They were the same medicines.

The medicine given to that guy contained the same spirit aura as the elixir He Biqu had, and the reward He Biqu offered was worth at least 50,000 taels of silver per pill.

And that bastard Xu Lao San used two... I only charged him 100 taels!

And it was on credit!

He probably even cursed me as a swindler behind my back!

Feng Yin's heart bled.

I've been smart all my life, but I was fooled by Xu Lao San this time!

Suddenly, Xu Lao San's face became the most detestable, Xu Lao San, you're ugly! Shameless to the extreme!

A 50,000 tael item, and you only gave me 50 taels!

Such a bargain, it's utterly inhumane!

At this moment, Feng Yin completely forgot that the 50 taels were his own suggestion.

He Biqu was already thinking about something else.

Although Doctor Feng didn't say anything, his face still showed dissatisfaction with the arrangement.

He Biqu himself also felt ashamed.

After all, the other person had done such a big favor, and he only gave a pile of low-grade elixirs, which was indeed a bit stingy.

But Doctor Feng's current cultivation couldn't handle high-grade elixirs, so this was indeed a bit... stingy.

"Besides, I promise you a bright future... when your cultivation stabilizes, you can take the position of Rainbow Sky Cloak, Green Robe. What do you think, Mr. Feng?" He Biqu smiled.

"Huh?"

Feng Yin's spirit returned, and he looked at He Biqu with confusion and bewilderment. Why bring this up again? Isn't this already enough?

He Biqu misunderstood.

Feng Yin's puzzled look reminded him of Feng Yin's previous refusal, and he instinctively thought: Didn't I already refuse? Why bring it up again?

He Biqu then coughed and smiled, "Regarding this future, I have other plans. It's a leisure position that others have no authority to mobilize, which can maximize your safety and doesn't require any missions. However, this has never been done before, so I need to discuss how to implement it."

This time, he was truly prepared to make a big sacrifice.

Without great resources and a high position, how could he attract a great sage?

The effort and the reward are always proportional.

Thinking this, He Biqu immediately felt calm and even a bit excited.

"Thank you, Sir."

"No need to be polite. It's not because of your life-saving grace, but because of your medical potential."

He Biqu spoke frankly, looking at Feng Yin with some regret: "Your talent determines that you won't have much development in the martial path... in this world where might is right, to protect yourself, you must rely on a powerful force. But life is not always as one wishes. You have chosen to focus on medicine, and whether you can reach a high level in martial arts is secondary."

Feng Yin nodded repeatedly.

In his heart, he thought: Hehe, this time you're wrong. Now, I'm a genius in martial arts!

Wu Tiejun, on the side, said solemnly, "Sir, I remember the first time I met Brother Feng, he said something that left a deep impression on me, making my heart race."

"What did he say?"

"He said..."

Wu Tiejun said solemnly, "At that time, Brother Feng said, I am also a Qin person, and my blood is also Qin blood!"

He Biqu took a deep breath, his eyes shining, and looked Feng Yin up and down, saying heavily, "Well said! Well said!"

Qin people!

Qin!

No outsider could understand the weight of these two words in the hearts of these loyal Qin people!

Just that one sentence made Wu Tiejun recognize him.

And now, the same sentence made He Biqu, who already had a good impression, look at him even more favorably.

This sentence was ordinary in Feng Yin's previous life.

But the pride was deeply ingrained.

I am Chinese, and my blood is the blood of the descendants of Yan and Huang!

That pride and honor; at certain times, this sentence could make countless people's hearts surge and their eyes well up with tears.

In this different world of Qin, such a sentence had not yet been invented.

Suddenly hearing it, the shock in his heart was inexplicably strong.

"Qin blood! Qin blood!"

He Biqu patted Feng Yin's shoulder twice, his face flushed, and praised, "Good boy!"

He strode out the door and said, "Nothing must happen here!"

Wu Tiejun shouted, "Yes!"

Turning around, he nailed a sign on the side of the clinic door. The words shone in the sunlight, dazzling.

"Qin Empire Rainbow Sky Cloak!"

Eight large characters, shining brightly!

All the martial people outside, upon seeing this sign, showed signs of fear on their faces.

That fear came from the heart.

No matter which country these martial people came from, they all knew the weight of this sign.

This sign represented the Qin Empire Rainbow Sky Cloak!

Not just any Green Robe.

In other words, touching anyone here would be declaring war on the Rainbow Sky Cloak!

The aura instantly intensified, and the martial people felt they were suddenly a head shorter in front of this sign.

Under the sky of Qin, there were very few people who had the courage and the means to ignore this sign!

...

A whistling sound rose, and horns sounded from all sides. At the end of the street, dust flew up.

The ground shook, very rhythmically, making people's blood boil, hearts race, and mouths dry.

It was a kind of soul-shaking vibration.

The army was on the move!

Banners waved, and a squad of Qin iron cavalry rode in, marching in neat rows, the dust behind them rising in straight lines, creating a beautiful sight.

Feng Yin was deeply impressed by what he saw.

Observing the dust when the cavalry appeared, the difference between elite and ordinary troops was clearly visible; the most elite cavalry, even when charging, still had dust rising in straight lines, without any disorder.

Rising in straight lines, neat like a dragon, the dust rose to the sky, still as orderly as an army.

This fully demonstrated the elite nature of the army. If not trained to the bone, how could the formation remain so neat, even in life-and-death battles?

For ordinary armies, the dust was a mass of overlapping clouds, and in conflicts, it was even more chaotic.

So in ancient wars, experienced generals could tell from a distance whether the enemy was elite or ordinary.

If they saw straight lines of dust, their faces would turn serious, knowing they were facing an elite force, and the battle would be a bloody one.

And they would have no confidence in victory.

But if they saw chaotic dust, they would feel relieved, even laughing: "A rabble."

All worries would instantly disappear.

Observing the army's formation, the dust, and understanding the situation, was a small piece of common knowledge for generals.

But it was also a dividing line between those who understood military affairs and those who didn't!

Feng Yin had read extensively and had vast knowledge, even reaching hundreds of billions of words in VIP paid reading on Qidian, so he naturally understood these things.

Especially from reading books by a handsome author with the same surname, he had learned a lot of practical things.

What he saw was three horses galloping side by side, led by a red-robed general with a full beard, a rough and sturdy appearance, broad-shouldered and muscular, like a bear.

Sitting on the horse, he looked like a black bear.

Just seeing his build made one think of the invincible and unstoppable hero he would be in battle!

The general glanced and saw He Biqu by the roadside, and without stopping, he saluted with his spear from the horse.

The spear tip flashed in the sunlight, and he galloped past without stopping.

The army moved forward with momentum, and even if the emperor was by the roadside, they couldn't stop to salute.

This salute was already a high honor.

He Biqu also stood solemnly, returned the salute, and then the army surged past like a tide.

Three horses in a row, the formation neat, the hooves rising in unison, the tails swinging in a straight line, creating a solemn and beautiful sight.

Row after row of galloping horses, orderly and neat, the riders wearing helmets and armor, standing straight.

Red tassels on the spears like a sea, the spear tips gleaming in the sunlight, creating a cold and solemn atmosphere.

Red capes fluttering in the wind, like a river of blood, surging past.

No one spoke, no one made any extra movements, all eyes forward, not looking sideways.

Feng Yin felt, for the first time, that watching the army pass was so beautiful and captivating.

The army took an hour to pass, and he felt it was not enough, not enough to see.

Feng Yin's heart surged.

He even felt his eyes welling up.

He thought of his previous life, when he had seen the same solemn and imposing steel wall at certain times!

Equally majestic, equally impressive, equally handsome.

Equally fearless and resolute in battle.

Wu Tiejun stood straight, his right hand in a fist over his chest, saluting until the last of the army passed.

"These are all good men of our Qin Empire. After this, they will immediately head to the southern border; this journey will be through seas of blood and mountains of bones, and few will return..."

Wu Tiejun sighed lightly.

He Biqu asked, "Who is the commander of this army?"

"It is General Ma Qian Ge of the Tiger Might!"

He Biqu's eyes lit up, and he sighed, "I haven't heard of him before... Ah, Ma Qian Ge, riding forward, means war... His name fits him, a life of battles."

From all sides, the sound of galloping horses like rolling thunder, coming and going.

Although Feng Yin always felt like an outsider, in this environment, his heart suddenly felt warm and passionate.

Just as he was about to sigh, Wu Tiejun's lips twitched, and he whispered to He Biqu, "Sir, he is the third son of the Ma family. It's said that the old sir recently changed his name. His original name was... Ma Shang Feng."

Feng Yin: "..."

Even He Biqu's beard trembled, and after a long time, his voice came softly.

"Ma Shang Feng... really... his father is truly talented!"

Then, He Biqu and Wu Tiejun also left.

At this moment, the Green Robes gathered, rising into the sky, no longer just the thirty people Wu Tiejun brought, but over two hundred.

Looking up, it was like a green cloud, floating and surging away.

The operation officially began!

As the Qin iron cavalry and the Rainbow Sky Cloak Green Robes left, the martial people in the small town also set out.

The Qin Empire, when dealing with such secret realms, would act first but wouldn't monopolize everything. After the imperial forces searched and left, there would be many corners and items left behind for the martial people to fight over.

Sometimes they would even deliberately leave something valuable.

"We must give the martial world of Qin a chance to breathe. The court must be strong, the army must be strong, and the martial world of Qin must be strong!"

It was said that this was a rule set by the great respecter Qingming.

Such a broad-minded approach was unique among the great empires, unmatched in the world.

...

"Finally gone."

Feng Yin let out a long sigh of relief.

This place was near the southern border, a poor and rugged area, not a good place. Most importantly, Feng Yin knew that with his strength, he would probably fare even worse in the big cities.

Feng Yin had lived in this world for ten years and deeply understood the way to preserve his life. He had long decided to develop quietly for a few years, then look for opportunities to consider going to the big cities.

Big cities were full of hidden dragons and tigers, no joke.

For example, a roadside shop, without some strength, who would dare to open a shop in such a chaotic world?

Not to mention those who already had a foothold in the big cities.

Feng Yin always adhered to one principle: never look down on anyone!

Be low-key in actions, be low-key in life.

A small town on the border, with a limited population, was much safer than a big city, even if there were some hermits in the mountains.

Today, with the addition of the sign in front of his door, it seemed much safer, but to Feng Yin, it was still too high-profile and too noticeable!

Sighing, he closed the shop door.

This time, he had gained so many cat foods... uh, elixirs, and so much silver, all unexpected windfalls, so he could close the shop for a few days...

...

Xu Lao Si, with a flushed face, went back to tell Xu Lao San about it.

"Qin Empire Rainbow Sky Cloak! Brother, this is amazing, if we... " Xu Lao Si was full of anticipation, his eyes sparkling.

If they could latch onto Feng Yin's leg and become official employees of the clinic, wouldn't that be wonderful?

Xu Lao San, however, suddenly became nervous: "A... pile of elixirs? A thousand taels of silver? A sign? Just for one elixir???"

Suddenly, he felt a darkness in front of his eyes.

This money-grubbing doctor would probably demand the difference.

Even if the previous charges didn't count, the future medicine costs would be astronomical!

"Is this a good thing?" Xu Lao San asked in despair.

"Is it a bad thing?" Xu Lao Si countered.

"You, you still don't understand the world, you're too naive, when will you grow up?"

Xu Lao San sighed deeply, "This is clearly the beginning of our hard times, brother!"

...

Unexpectedly, the hard times for the Xu brothers didn't come immediately.

Because Feng Yin was temporarily too busy to deal with them.

The reason wasn
