Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao

were pushing a small cart, on which there lay multiple talisman papers.

”Do you think the Horse Stance is simple? ” Xiao Yong Nian bared his teeth in a grin.
With a wave of his hand, those ten soldiers immediately circled round to the back of the masses, and began sticking paper talismans on their backs.

”So heavy! ” those that had had talismans stuck onto their backs exclaimed.
There were even a few that dropped on their backsides.

”This is a Weight Talisman; different people will have different Spiritual Talismans attached.
I guarantee that it is within the capacity you all can withstand, ” Xiao Yong Nian announced coldly.
”All of you, get back to your feet and stand back in the Horse Stance position.
Within three breaths, if anyone ’s posture is still not up to standard, I will throw him out! ”

Those that had fallen onto the ground hurriedly got onto their feet.
Some managed to get firmly into the Horse Stance, but there were some that once again flopped onto the ground.
Three breaths later, Xiao Yong Nian indeed began to cast people out again, throwing those that did not meet the standards out of the barracks.

Ling Han saw this and nodded internally.
A cultivator was individually very strong, but to become a soldier, mere individual battle prowess was useless.

If the Purple Moon Empire was unable to defeat the five great sects, or failed to split open the skies, then he would have to take on this mission.
Thus, he began to be interested in commanding and training troops.
Learning secretly from the Purple Moon Empire was undoubtedly the best means available.

In terms of ability, he obviously dominated over Xiao Yong Nian, yet still behaved seriously and obediently, not putting on any airs because of his superior ability.

Everyone had a Spiritual Talisman attached respectively.
Because Ling Han only showed cultivation of the Flower Blossom Tier, and no one here was capable of identifying his true ability, a Spiritual Talisman of Flower Blossom level was naturally slapped onto him.
It was as if a mosquito had landed on him; what effect would such miniscule weight have on him?

However, even if he had had a Spiritual Talisman on the level of Spiritual infant Tier stuck onto him, it also would have been all right.
With his terrifyingly powerful physique, at most, it would have been like an egg ’s weight had been added on.

But others did not have this kind of physique, and so had to stimulate their Origin Power to resist the weight.

This was not something as simple as delivering a palm strike or throwing a punch; one had to continuously resist, and this would greatly exhaust one ’s reserves of Origin Power.
Furthermore, most cultivators did not cultivate Body Arts.
It was fine if they had to stand in the Horse Stance for two to four hours, but as time passed, even if they were not short on Origin Power, their bodies would still feel weary.

And what caused their hair to stand on ends was the fact that they had to maintain the Horse Stance for a whole day and night!

In the meantime, they could not rest, eat, nor drink.
In merely half a day ’s time, 17 people could not last, and were subsequently thrown out of the barracks.
And when the day ended, a total of 49 people had been cast out.

It had only been a day, and about a tenth of the participants had been disqualified.

Ling Han was learning.
In martial arts and alchemy, he was a genius, but in commanding and training troops, he was still a blank piece of paper, endlessly soaking in experience.
Actually, establishing his own nation was still extremely beneficial as power of the nation could greatly increase his battle prowess and speed up the rate of his cultivation.
Although he was advancing very quickly at the moment, that was because he had walked this path once before in his last life.
But once he stepped into the Immortal Realm, even if he was unprecedentedly talented and a genius, he would definitely no longer be able to maintain this rate of advancement.

I ’ll let Fatty Ma hold the fort first.
If he can no longer manage, then I ’ll step up.
However, even after we reach the Immortal Realm, I will still have to consider establishing my own country and speed up the rate of my cultivation.

In the Immortal Realm, it would naturally be even more difficult to establish one ’s own country, because everyone knew the benefits of establishing one ’s own country.
As a result, parties with even the slightest bit of power would be fighting tooth and nail to establish their own nations.
The competition would be incredibly fierce.
