Imperial Cultivation-Chapter 320 - 317: High Hopes

```html

Bai Ningyu followed behind Chu Zhiyuan, leaving the platform of the martial training field and drifting down to the main tent.

He marveled: "No wonder you’re the Princely Heir!"

Absolutely beyond human capabilities.

Can a human achieve such feats? It’s like having eyes in the back of his head, everyone is visible to him.

This ability is not something that everyone possesses.

In fact, almost no one else can possess it.

Chu Zhiyuan sat back in the White Tiger Chair, smiling: "The remaining matters are urgent, we need to accelerate the progress."

"Leave the rest to me!" Bai Ningyu waved his hand nonchalantly: "As long as they form the regiment and grasp the training, everything else is trivial!"

In his view, if Chu Zhiyuan can have these new recruits form an array, he’s already completed his task.

The remaining trivial matters are left to him.

The reason he entered the Phoenix Camp was because of this task.

It was to assist the Princely Heir, free him from constraints, and ensure he isn’t bogged down by these trivial matters.

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Is the supply of demon beast meat sufficient?"

"...Eating demon beast meat is too extravagant," Bai Ningyu replied. "Better to just take spirit pills."

Most of this demon beast meat is used for alchemy.

Demon beast meat combined with other auxiliary herbs is more effective than consuming the beasts directly.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "For them, eating demon beast meat is better than spirit pills, so let them have it for now."

If these people were all military soldiers, then spirit pills would indeed be quicker and more effective.

But many of them are experts from the Martial Arts Sects, all striving towards becoming a Great Grandmaster.

And to achieve Great Grandmaster, they cannot take spirit pills that aid cultivation, or it would block their path to Great Grandmaster.

If they discovered this secret and remembered taking cultivation-enhancing spirit pills in the Phoenix Camp, not only would they not be grateful, but they’d hate it and harbor resentment for life.

The best solution is still eating demon beast meat.

He has already experienced the benefits of eating demon beast meat; after consuming flood dragon meat, the body’s strength rapidly increases.

The Meat Refining Realm is progressing rapidly, the body becoming increasingly agile and graceful, considered a great pleasure.

Bai Ningyu said, "The Heavenly Treasure Department can only supply enough demon beast meat for one meal, this makes us hate it."

Chu Zhiyuan laughed.

Indeed it’s lavish, but to form an army in a month, it can only be done in a crude and simple manner.

It’s akin to burning money.

Using demon beast meat to strengthen their physique, speed up training progress, and simultaneously enhance their sense of honor and pride.

In the entire Da Jing Dynasty, it’s only the Phoenix Camp where the whole camp eats demon beast meat.

A thousand mouths, and they’re martial artists at that, so demon beast meat cannot be supplied in abundance.

A small fist-sized piece for each already constitutes significant consumption.

It’s worth noting that this demon beast meat didn’t come from two hunting grounds, but from the four Grotto Heavens and four Secret Lands.

Who can obtain demon beast meat?

The Great Grandmasters.

To trouble the Great Grandmasters with killing demon beasts daily to supply them, one can imagine how extravagant it is.

If this news got out, countless eyes would be on the Phoenix Camp.

Everyone is aware this Phoenix Camp has limitless prospects, highly valued by the Emperor, and holds high hopes from him.

So how formidable is this Phoenix Camp?

Bai Ningyu initially thought it was a tough job, founding a camp from scratch with numerous tasks awaiting, sure to be mentally and physically exhausting.

But ever since being authorized for a daily meal of demon beast meat, he realized his nephew was not giving him a hard time, but rather giving him a significant boost.

The position of Deputy General of the Phoenix Camp would be the biggest turning point in his career; if he stabilized in this position, he could become a top military figure.

Thus, he didn’t see many troubles as hassles but enjoyed them with vigor and enthusiasm.

If he encountered trouble, he’d rally his friends, fully mobilize and utilize his vast network.

Under his military seasoned management, the Phoenix Camp quickly became well-organized and flourishing.

Chu Zhiyuan was quite satisfied.

He didn’t expect his uncle to be such a competent person, entrusted with significant responsibilities.

——

Early the next morning, he arrived at Mingwu Hall, stood in the Purple Sun Stance, and practiced the Purple Sun Scripture.

The Dragon Transformation Technique advanced, the Sword Nourishing Technique advanced, and the Glazed Blade Scripture also advanced.

Multiple thoughts independently ran, each not interfering with the other.

When Chu Zhiyuan finished his practice, Chu Zhitian and Chu Zhichuan came over, grinning at him.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "Brother Nine, Brother Ten, what are you up to?"

"Fourth Brother, how about a gathering tonight?" Chu Zhichuan suggested. "It’s been a long time since we last met."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "Nothing happening at the Military Suppression Department?"

"Very quiet, no troublemakers... Brother Nine just finished his business, it’s worth celebrating."

"Alright," Chu Zhiyuan agreed readily, "Should we gather at Uncle Eighteen’s place, or at my new residence?"

"Let’s go to Uncle Eighteen’s," Chu Zhichuan suggested with a smile. "He just got another jar of medicinal wine."

"That’s perfect then."

...

Eighteenth Prince Mansion

The place shone brightly.

In the front hall, a large table was filled with delicious dishes, and there was a purple jar of wine.

Chu Mingxuan grinned, watching Chu Zhiyuan drain a bowl of medicinal wine in one go, shaking his head, "Old Fourth, you’re wasting this precious wine gulping it down like that!"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "It’s medicinal wine, the medicinal properties are what’s important."

The warm flow entered his stomach, quickly spreading around, and then circulating through his flesh, creating a numb, comforting sensation.

This medicinal wine is truly extraordinary.

"Exactly, the medicinal properties are what’s important!" Chu Zhitian also took up a large bowl, gulping it down.

Chu Mingxuan sighed, "I really shouldn’t have brought out this jar, it took a lot of effort to get it!"

"Uncle Eighteen, where did you get it?" Chu Zhiyuan asked with a smile.

"Hehe..." Chu Mingxuan looked smug.

Chu Zhiyuan immediately guessed, "From Imperial Grandfather?"

Speaking of being favored, Chu Mingxuan was indeed the most favored of all the princes, with the boldest spirit.

Every day he entered the palace, eating and taking things without hesitation.

The other princes dared not do so.

Chu Zhiyuan didn’t have the guts either; to ask the Emperor for something, there had to be a justifiable reason.

But Chu Mingxuan didn’t care about that, he simply took by force.

"Alright, full of wine and food, it’s time to talk, isn’t it?" Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "You both want to join the Phoenix Camp?"

Chu Zhiyuan saw right through their thoughts.

The establishment of the Phoenix Camp wasn’t favored, joining enthusiastically was for breaking through to Innate Perfection and reaching Grandmaster status.

Besides, the Phoenix Camp itself wasn’t favored.

First, its composition was complicated.

Second, the General was inexperienced, without military experience.

An incompetent general burdens the entire army.

An inexperienced general could easily ruin the entire Phoenix Camp.

In such a situation, those who break through to Grandmaster won’t need any further guidance and are likely to leave immediately.

The strength of the Phoenix Camp wouldn’t be too great.

An inexperienced general, coupled with a not very strong and rather loosely organized troop, how could the Phoenix Camp be viewed favorably?

As for Chu Zhitian and Chu Zhichuan, Chu Zhiyuan previously advised them to join the Phoenix Camp; brothers tackling challenges together could help him.

Both declined, preferring to stay at the Military Suppression Department, believing they couldn’t be of help with their low martial skills.

The biggest benefit of joining the Phoenix Camp didn’t interest them; as soon as they achieved Innate Perfection, Chu Zhiyuan would naturally help them advance to Grandmaster.

So there was no need to wade into these murky waters of the Phoenix Camp.

Now it seemed they were changing their minds.

"Hehe..." Chu Zhitian asked awkwardly, "Fourth Brother, is it too late to join now?"

Chu Zhichuan also looked at him expectantly.

Chu Mingxuan chuckled, shaking his head, "You two...when invited you didn’t join, and now you’re begging to get in."
