Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace-Chapter 138 Huangfu Hao goes first

After speaking, Chen Mo’s gaze swept over to a set of black battle armor hanging on the wall.

The armor was completely black, with two not very deep knife marks on the chest area, and it didn’t look much different from the armor worn by ordinary soldiers, not very conspicuous.

Chen Mo said, "Yunxi, what do you think of this piece?"

Xiao Yunxi’s gaze swept over, then she picked up the account book and began to flip through it. Finally, as if she had found something, she said, "According to records, this set of armor was obtained from a death warrior under the Grand Ancestor of the previous dynasty. It’s a Profound Tier Upper Grade, but this armor’s defensive power is the same as ordinary armor."

"Hmm?" Chen Mo showed a look of puzzlement.

If it’s the same as ordinary armor, why is it still a Profound Tier Upper Grade treasure?

"This armor’s effect is to enhance combat capability, its defensive effect is not good. You should choose this Celestial Spirit Heart Guard Armor instead, which can enhance combat power and also has impressive defense," Xiao Yunxi continued.

"Enhance combat power..."

Chen Mo murmured softly, then said, "Yunxi, I’ll still choose this one, it’s better to be low-key."

Choosing the Celestial Spirit Heart Guard Armor would be too conspicuous.

"Do you want your life or do you want to be low-key?" Seeing Chen Mo not listening to her, Xiao Yunxi was a bit annoyed.

"Of course I want my life, Yunxi, listen to me..."

Chen Mo told Xiao Yunxi about him being a Fourth Grade Martial Artist.

She, as the Empress, could be good to him.

What couldn’t he trust her with?

"How... is that possible?" Xiao Yunxi’s eyes widened.

How long had Chen Mo been cultivating?

Up till now, it had only been a bit over ten days.

And he’s already a Fourth Grade Martial Artist?

Even the previous dynasty’s extraordinarily gifted Grand Ancestor Qin Zheng didn’t have such strong cultivation talent, right?

Seeing Xiao Yunxi’s disbelief.

Chen Mo lightly stomped his foot, True Qi emerged from beneath his feet.

Then Xiao Yunxi immediately felt the temperature around them drop.

Xiao Yunxi noticed a faint frost appearing under Chen Mo’s feet.

At this point.

Even if Xiao Yunxi didn’t want to believe, she had to.

Those beautiful amber-like eyes were almost popping out of their sockets.

Her jade-like hand raised to cover her red lips.

Her expression told Chen Mo just how shocked she was at the moment.

"How... did you break through so quickly?" Xiao Yunxi asked shakily.

Chen Mo earnestly said, "Have you heard of persistence and effort?"

I carried, carried, carried... carried the bag...

"Forget it if you don’t want to say."

She gave Chen Mo a glance with a little resentment in her eyes and didn’t ask any more.

Xiao Yunxi knew everyone has their own secrets, there’s no need to force them to reveal it.

As long as he treats her well, that’s enough.

She didn’t talk about the armor anymore either.

"Then why don’t you pick a weapon to defend yourself?" Xiao Yunxi suggested.

Hearing this, Chen Mo’s gaze swept the storeroom.

Finally, his gaze landed on a Bronze Small Bell.

Yes, this Bronze Small Bell, and the one previously acquired by Chen Mo, were almost identical.

"This one then." Chen Mo walked over, picked up the Bronze Small Bell, and said.

"You recognize it?" Xiao Yunxi was taken aback.

"Red Sun Bell." Chen Mo smiled and took out another Red Sun Bell from his sleeve for Xiao Yunxi to see.

This Red Sun Bell was obtained with the money Zhao Fujin provided, so Xiao Yunxi would find out about it sooner or later.

Having shared the matter of his cultivation, there was no harm in telling her this as well.

"Where did you get it?" Xiao Yunxi’s expression became somewhat serious.

"Bought it outside the palace, but Fujin, Empress was also there, and she’s the one who paid..."

Chen Mo awkwardly scratched his nose.

Xiao Yunxi: "..."

"Do you know the secret of the Red Sun Bell?"

Chen Mo shook his head.

"Rumor has it the Red Sun Bell is related to the Nan Zhou Treasure. When Nan Zhou was about to collapse, the Nan Zhou king buried the country’s treasures, cultivation techniques, martial arts, and so on in a place, and then made four Red Sun Bells, recording the exact location, slaughtered all those who knew about it, and had his children each take one Red Sun Bell and leave Nan Zhou...

There’s even a legend that whoever obtains the Nan Zhou Treasure can unify the world."

Xiao Yunxi said slowly.

"Do you believe this rumor, Your Ladyship?" Chen Mo asked.

"I believe the Nan Zhou king buried a batch of treasures, but the idea of unifying the world with the Nan Zhou Treasure is something I absolutely don’t believe. If Nan Zhou had that kind of power, they wouldn’t have faced national collapse. But it seems that group of Nan Zhou remnants believe it, as every year quite a few Nan Zhou remnants sneak into the palace, and in the end, they end up dead."

Xiao Yunxi scrutinized the Bronze Bell in her hand for a moment, then handed it to Chen Mo, saying, "Since this Bronze Bell has fate with you, take it and study it well."

After speaking, Xiao Yunxi picked up the account book, found the record of the Red Sun Bell after some flipping, and tore it up.

Then dissolved it into nothingness using True Qi.

...

On the other side.

In the training ground.

The Command Flag waved, and the Golden Drum sounded in unison.

In the troop assembly area, Huangfu Hao, who had been appointed as the main general by royal decree, wore light armor, rode on a reddish-brown steed, and looked down at the people below.

Below were the cavalry dispatched by the Horse Army Division, solemnly looking at the man above.

After sweeping his gaze over them, Huangfu Hao took out a Military Talisman from his bosom and slowly raised it, saying, "Starting today, I am your main general. Whatever the past was like, I don’t care, but from today until the rebellion in Nanyang is suppressed, my words are military orders. Disobey them, and you’ll face decapitation!"

After speaking, Huangfu Hao glanced down at Wei Xian.

Wei Xian carried the Holy Decree and slowly walked forward.

He read the Holy Decree.

In summary, it appointed Huangfu Hao as the main general, Gao Fen and Xiao Teng as deputy generals, and Wei Xian as the military supervisor.

It also stated that merits would be rewarded and violations would lead to execution!

After the Holy Decree was read, Huangfu Hao waved his hand, and the drumbeat on the assembly ground became loud, with the Command Flags waving.

"Wind!"

"Wind!"

"Wind!"

The generals and soldiers below shouted in unison as a response.

The resounding horns reverberated around the assembly ground.

"Brother Gao, Brother Teng, Nanyang is in urgent situation, I’m leading the cavalry to depart first."

Huangfu Hao said to Gao Fen and Xiao Teng.

After the two nodded.

Huangfu Hao shouted loudly, "Depart."

The voice, wrapped in True Qi, echoed throughout the assembly ground.

Without listening, the horns sounded.

The gate of the camp opened.

Like thunder, the iron hooves galloped towards the outside of the camp.

After Huangfu Hao left, Gao Fen asked Xiao Teng in a yin-yang tone, "The emperor’s order was to leave after noon, what is Huangfu Hao in such a hurry for?"

"General Huangfu is thinking of the world, and every minute late means more suffering for the people of Nanyang."

Xiao Teng tossed the cloak behind him, then laughed, "General Gao, let’s prepare quickly and set off earlier."

Having said that, Xiao Teng laughed and left.

Gao Fen watched Xiao Teng’s departing figure, not knowing what he was thinking.
