Although his words were pleasant, Shi Wenguang looked at the panacea before him in a daze. There was also a hint of desolation in his eyes. He was unwilling to take it for a long time. He was not excited that Yue Qianchou was going to give him a rare panacea. Instead, he was thinking that Yue Qianchou was going to give him a poison to control him. He had seen many similar things in his decades in the army.
Yue Qianchou saw through him and sneered. "General, you're underestimating me too much. Do you really think that you, the pillar of the kingdom, are indispensable? That I, Yue Qianchou, can't do without you? "If it wasn't for Shi Xiaotian, why would I waste so much effort on your Shi family? I could've just knocked Supporting Immortal Island off its pedestal. Would I be afraid that the Li Dynasty wouldn't submit to me at that time? Why would I do all this?"
"Uh …" Shi Wenguang was stunned by his words, but he suddenly became clear-headed. Thinking about it, if Shi Wenguang could push Supporting Immortal Island off its position as the number one sect, he would have the strength to lead the cultivation world. Why would he need to ask Shi Wenguang for help? It would be a simple matter for him to support someone to take over. However …
"There's no need to hesitate. This panacea is indeed a genuine Exquisite Pill of Seven Orifices. If someone begs me to give it to them, I won't give it to them." A hint of impatience appeared on Yue Qianchou's face. He said bluntly, "General, if you have anything to say, why don't you just say it? Let's not beat around the bush today."
Shi Wenguang gritted his teeth and grabbed the panacea in his hand. He had made it clear that whether it was a poison or a panacea, he would eat it. "Forgive me for being blunt, but your actions just now clearly show that you want to firmly control my Shi family. You don't want to give us any chance to escape your control. Am I not supposed to be suspicious of you?" He raised the pill in his hand as he spoke.
Yue Qianchou paused for a moment before bursting into laughter. Shaking his head, he said, "I admit that I want to control your Shi family, but it's only temporary. It's not what you think it is. Once I'm done with what I want to do, you'll find that your Shi family's little sacrifice will bring you incalculable benefits."
"Oh!" Shi Wenguang also regained the heroic spirit of a great general. He asked, "Mister, please speak frankly. It will also help to dispel the doubts in my heart and make me feel at ease."
"Alright! That way, you can be mentally prepared. Let me see how bold you are, Great General Shi. " With a wave of his hand, Yue Qianchou swept all the documents, papers, pens, tokens, and the like onto the floor. Then, he pulled out a box from thin air and placed it on the table. He opened the box, revealing a box full of clean jade archives. Yue Qianchou pointed at the contents of the box, hinting for him to take a look.
Shi Wenguang didn't know what he meant. He picked up a jade archive and looked at it over and over again. He couldn't figure out what it was, so he looked at Mister Qianchou doubtfully. Yue Qianchou walked to his side and placed a palm on his shoulder. He said, "General, close your eyes. Let your consciousness follow the feeling I've transmitted to you."
Shi Wenguang really did feel something strange coming from his hand. He immediately closed his eyes, and his consciousness was instantly guided by that strange thing. It flowed along his arm and into the jade archive in his palm. Although his eyes were still closed, he felt his vision brighten. A vast and detailed map appeared in front of him. Mountains, rivers, roads, city walls, the customs of every place, the population, military strength, and defense of every city were all displayed in front of him ….
Shi Wenguang was someone who had led troops into battle. Naturally, he knew what these things meant. While he was immersed in it, his gaze suddenly shifted to the icon of a magnificent palace. A few large words caught his attention: 'Drifting Cloud Country's Imperial Palace' … He was instantly shocked, and his consciousness leapt out of the jade archive. He suddenly turned around and asked, "Is this the complete geographical map of Drifting Cloud Country?"
Yue Qianchou nodded and smiled. "General, you are indeed a general who has led troops for a long time. I don't need to explain it to you."
"Hiss!" Shi Wenguang gasped in shock. "Such a detailed geographical map is unbelievable. I've never seen such a thing in my decades in the army. May I know who made it?"
"Don't look at me with suspicion. I didn't do it. I took this from a foreign cultivator. It's a pity that I didn't know who that person was. I'm sure General can tell that the person who made this box of maps is after something big, "Yue Qianchou said. Naturally, he wouldn't say that he got this box of maps from the dead.
"All the jade archives in this box are here? Are all the countries' maps in here? "Shi Wenguang was even more shocked.
Yue Qianchou shook his head. "Not all of them. There are still two countries missing. Hua Xia's map isn't among them. There's one more country, but I can't tell which one I missed. There are so many that I'm getting dizzy. But without a doubt, this missing country is the creator of these maps. "
"Why are you so sure? Could it not be Hua Xia's doing? "Shi Wenguang asked in confusion.
"Do you really think that a single country is capable of making these maps?" Yue Qianchou laughed coldly.
Shi Wenguang hesitated. "This … is indeed difficult. Let's not talk about how long it would take. Other countries wouldn't allow a foreign country to investigate their country's terrain. Moreover, even the deployment of troops is marked in detail. It's very difficult."
"That's why I said that only cultivators have the ability to do this. When it comes to the cultivation world, you don't know it as well as I do. " Yue Qianchou touched the clean jade archives in the box with one hand and said slowly, "Why isn't there a map of Hua Xia in here? The reason is simple. Hua Xia cultivators have always called themselves the orthodox cultivators of the world. They look down on foreign cultivators. "
"Their xenophobia is very strong, to the point where they've closed themselves off from the outside world. If I don't interfere with the outside world, the outside world shouldn't interfere with me either. Otherwise, I won't be polite. It's almost impossible for foreign cultivators to spend a lot of time drawing maps in Hua Xia without being discovered. This should be the reason why there isn't a map of Hua Xia. Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that the map of Hua Xia hasn't been completed, or that it wasn't placed in this box. However, the chances of that are slim. "
"Based on what Mister has said, the other country is the biggest suspect." Shi Wenguang put the jade archives in his hand back into the box with a solemn expression. "It seems that someone has set his sights on the entire world."
"Hehe. You can't hide your tail forever. We'll find out sooner or later," Yue Qianchou laughed coldly.
"How hard can it be to find out?" Shi Wenguang asked in surprise. "I have a list of the names of all the countries here. Mister can just check and eliminate them. According to what Mister has said, the remaining country must be the biggest suspect. "
"Uh …" Yue Qianchou was stunned. "Is that so? Then give me a copy. " He realized that he was always overthinking things. There were some things that were right in front of him that he couldn't see.
"Please wait a moment, Mister!" Shi Wenguang turned around and went into the inner tent. Not long after, he returned with a leather scroll and handed it to Yue Qianchou. "Regardless of size, the names of all three hundred and nineteen countries are all in here."
Yue Qianchou took the scroll, opened it, and nodded. He closed the box on the table and tossed it all into his storage pouch. Having him do such a meticulous job would give him a toothache. It was better to find someone more attentive. He then asked, "What are your thoughts after reading this, General?"
Shi Wenguang's eyes narrowed. He slowly said, "I don't understand what Mister means."
"You've guessed it even if you don't understand, right?" Yue Qianchou clasped his hands behind his back and paced back and forth in front of him, saying, "In the past, my thoughts were also limited to the Huaxia Empire. Ever since I saw this thing, it can be said that the clouds have been pushed aside to see the clear sky. Since we're going to play, let's play big. As he said this, he leaned in front of Shi Wenguang and asked, "General, do you have the courage to lead an army of millions and conquer the entire world?"
The tent quieted down again. The roars of battle and training outside suddenly made one's blood boil. After a long silence, Shi Wenguang shook his head. "Mister, you're flattering me. How could I dare to conquer the entire world? I can't take on this responsibility."
"General, you've spent half your life on the battlefield. You've earned your reputation on the back of a horse. Everyone in the Hua Xia Empire knows about you." Yue Qianchou patiently guided him. "If you can make it bigger, let the entire world know about you. At that time, the General will be the world's number one general. His name will be recorded in the annals of history, and he will be a role model for future generations. I'm afraid no one in the future generations will be able to surpass this glory. "
Shi Wenguang's lips tightened. His breathing gradually became heavier. His cheeks were slightly red. Clearly, his emotions were fluctuating and he was forcefully suppressing them.
Yue Qianchou smiled without saying a word. From his previous life, he knew that a general who disliked war and achievements would never become a famous general. Between countries, war was an eternal topic that could stand the test. War was also a drama that would never end. Peace was always an intermission. Everything else was bullshit. A powerful country would always be actively preparing for a war that could happen at any time.
War belonged to generals who showed off their abilities. Those generals were also the most dazzling records in the annals of history … Yue Qianchou believed that General Shi would be very interested.
"The world is big. There are countless brave generals who are good at war. Moreover, every country is guarded by people from the cultivation world. How could Shi Wenguang dare to conquer the world?" Shi Wenguang swallowed with difficulty and rejected implicitly.
He had long heard that Yue Qianchou was a famous madman in the cultivation world. He dared to do anything. How could he be muddle-headed and agree to go against the entire world? Wouldn't that be nonsense? War was not child's play!
"If I can conquer the entire cultivation world and solve the worries of the general, do you dare?" Yue Qianchou smiled faintly.
This guy had obviously taken out the most tempting thing and was constantly seducing her. Shi Wenguang smiled bitterly. "Sir, why are you so sure that I have the ability to conquer the entire world?"
"Because an unprecedented great man once wrote a poem to praise you. That's why I'm full of confidence in you," Yue Qianchou said solemnly.
Shi Wenguang was stunned. He asked, "Which great man wrote a poem to praise me? Why don't I know? What poem? "
"That great man can only be admired in your heart. Don't talk about him. As for that poem! I can read it to you. " Yue Qianchou pressed his hand on the table and lightly tapped the rhythm. He recited, "The mountains are high and the roads are deep. The great army gallops unhindered. Only I, General Shi, dare to attack. "
