Although the Dragon Gate Selection only recruited two disciples in the end.
However, Lin Ze was very satisfied.
Ling Yixue was only sixteen years old and was already a Martial Master in the early seventh level of the Martial Vein.
Ling Xiao was even more terrifying. He was only in the middle sixth level of the Martial Vein, but he could easily defeat two peak sixth level martial artists.
More importantly, Ling Xiao's ability to comprehend martial arts surpassed many Martial Masters.
He had integrated soul attacks into martial arts and created the "Spirit Realm" above the Transformative Realm.
He had even comprehended the killing move of the Multiple Shadows Sword Art.
He didn't look like a fourteen-year-old child at all. He was simply a martial arts monster.
Lin Ze was very glad that such a child hadn't been snatched away by the Heavenly Ninja Academy. Instead, he had recruited him to the Border General's Residence.
Regardless of whether it was for the child's future development, for Northern Han, or for the Human Race's Sacred Dynasty, it was extremely beneficial.
After the Dragon Gate Selection, Lin Ze's matter with the Dragon Gate also came to an end.
The matter of the Dragon Gate destroying the Illusion Pills was still brewing. He believed that the ninjas wouldn't let this matter rest.
However, Lin Ze wouldn't let this matter rest either.
The Dragon Gate was just the beginning.
The destruction of the Illusion Pills had already become a huge problem for the Sacred Dynasty.
The Illusion Pills caused a large amount of Spirit Stones to flow out of the Sacred Dynasty, causing the already declining human martial artists to find it even more difficult to cultivate.
Sometimes, if one wanted to obtain low-grade Spirit Stones, one had to be a high-ranking official or nobleman. One might even have to rely on the foreign races.
The Illusion Pills had also corroded the ruling body of the Sacred Dynasty.
Many nobles, bureaucrats, and Martial Masters became even more greedy after using the Illusion Pills, aggravating the parasitic and rotten nature of the ruling body.
They accepted bribes, covered up the smuggling of the Illusion Pills, and used various methods such as increasing rent and taxes to transfer the cost of the Illusion Pills to ordinary martial artists. This made it even more difficult for ordinary martial artists to maintain their high cultivation costs.
It could be said that the biggest reason why many martial artists couldn't advance to the Martial Master realm was because of the Illusion Pills.
In addition, the Illusion Pills severely weakened the combat strength of military martial artists.
Some of the generals and soldiers of the Sacred Dynasty had also taken the Illusion Pills.
For example, in the Tianfeng City Navy, not only did the officers and soldiers use the Illusion Pill, they also accepted large amounts of bribes.
The navy's patrol ships had actually made an agreement with the ninja's dreamy elixir ship that "every box of dreamy elixir will be paid with spirit stones or gold". A large number of "anti-smuggling ships" had even become dreamy elixir smuggling ships.
It could be said that the Fantasy Elixir had destroyed the bodies of countless human warriors. Now, almost every town in the Sacred Dynasty would see places selling Fantasy Elixirs.
This caused many martial artists to mistakenly consume it or be unable to resist the temptation and eventually become the Ninja's puppets.
Or he would become a cripple who lost all his martial arts.
Such martial artists could be said to number in the thousands.
It was precisely because Lin Ze saw this problem that he proposed the decision to ban the import of Fantasy Pills. Although the Sage Emperor of the Human Race was young, he still had some backbone and supported Lin Ze's decision.
However, this matter was still fraught with difficulties.
Tianfeng City's problem was solved.
However, under the protection of the Ninjas, Governor Wan Ben, and the local bureaucrats and sects, there were still many Fantasy Pill shops in the entire White Cloud Province.
Some of the bosses of the Fantasy Pill shops were directly from the Ninjas, the Blue-Eyed Race, and other races. Completely eliminating these people was not something that could be done in a short period of time.
The convoy returning to White Cloud Capital drove along the winding mountain path. Lin Ze told Ling Xiao about this matter.
Nurturing a martial artist was not only about nurturing their strength, but also about nurturing their correct mindset.
If a peerless expert was nurtured who committed all sorts of evil, then the nurturing would probably be a failure.
That was probably what Lin Ze was thinking, so he felt that it was necessary for him to tell Ling Xiao and Ling Yixue about this matter.
He wanted them to judge the situation of the Fantasy Elixir.
He would not force the two of them to do anything because that would only have the opposite effect. However, he would guide them with good intentions.
"Alright, the two of you don't have to think too much. With your current strength, you won't be able to help me in destroying the Fantasy Elixir. Therefore, the key is to increase your strength."
Lin Ze laughed when he saw the serious expressions on their faces.
This was also to ease the atmosphere.
"General Lin, you are already a martial artist at the peak of the 9th level Martial Vein. Can't you do things according to your own ideas?"
Ling Xiao asked doubtfully.
"Sigh."
Lin Ze sighed and said, "Not to mention a martial artist at the peak of the 9th level Martial Vein, even if you step into the Transcendent Realm, how can you do whatever you want? The higher you go, the more you will know that there is always someone better than you. "
"Transcendent Realm? What exactly is this Transcendent Realm? "
Ling Xiao asked excitedly.
He had seen martial artists at the peak of the 9th level Martial Vein, but he had yet to see a Transcendent Realm martial artist.
Therefore, he was naturally very curious.
Lin Ze smiled and said, "The Transcendent Realm is the realm of transcendence!"
"To be more precise, it means that you have left your mortal body and stepped into a completely different realm. Your body will undergo some very special changes and your lifespan will be greatly extended."
"It's a pity that I've only heard of it. Only when you truly reach the Transcendent Realm will you understand how powerful a martial artist of that realm is."
"I also yearn for it, but Ling Xiao, in this general's opinion, your chances of entering the Transcendent Realm are probably greater than mine."
Ling Xiao was a little surprised when he heard this and couldn't help but ask, "General, why do you say that?"
"Intuition!"
Lin Ze smiled and said, "Of course it's not just intuition. It can be seen from your perception. Generally speaking, martial artists who can enter the Transcendent Realm are martial artists who can comprehend profound moves from the Transcendent Martial Arts at the Martial Master Stage."
"And if I'm not wrong, you've probably already comprehended the profound moves of the Transcendent Martial Arts, right?"
Ling Xiao hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth.
"I won't hide it from General Lin. I've only comprehended five incomplete profound moves of the Transcendent Martial Arts. I'm still far from the complete Transcendent Martial Arts."
As he spoke, Ling Xiao couldn't help but recall the scene when he first comprehended the moves.
Transcendent Martial Arts should be able to draw upon the power of nature.
As for the Transcendent Realm, could it be that the body could borrow the power of nature?
If that was the case, it was no wonder that Lin Ze said that a human's physique and lifespan would undergo a huge change.
"The Transcendent Realm is incomparable. Those who can reach that realm are all Martial Grandmasters of their own sects. In the Human Sacred Dynasty, there were too few Transcendent Martial Artists. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been bullied to such a state today."
Lin Ze sighed and said, "If the Human Sacred Dynasty is like this, then there's no need to mention the vassal state of Northern Han. As for the Baiyun Province, this general has yet to see a single Transcendent Martial Artist."
As he spoke, Lin Ze was clearly filled with melancholy and helplessness.
How could he not want to advance to the Transcendent Realm? Unfortunately, it wasn't something that everyone could achieve.
The reason why he took in young martial artists in the Border Guarding General's Estate was because he wanted to nurture a few talents for the Baiyun Province, Northern Han, and even the human race.
