I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head



You Chuyun looked very excited. Adding the Cosmic Blood Demon that had died at Chu Yunfan's hands, there were now two Cosmic demons.

In Grand Xia, the fastest way to get promoted was through military merits. If one were to walk the path of a civil servant, they would have to rely on experience. Even if they had a powerful method to manage a place well, it would take some time for the effect to show. If there was a big war, one could easily get promoted.

Of course, the requirement on one's strength during a war was very high. When soldiers went to the battlefield, they would pray to survive. When officers went to the battlefield, the result was not much better. Only when they reached the Cosmos Stage could they have the strength to dominate the battlefield and consider building military achievements.

Even so, Chu Yunfan killing two Cosmic monsters in a row was no easy feat. After all, Cosmics had strong survivability. Even if something went wrong, they could still break out of the encirclement. It was very difficult to hold down such experts even if they were surrounded by an army. It was because of this that people like Chu Yunfan seemed like monsters.

In the military system of Grand Xia, the rank above the lieutenant colonel was the commandant, and the rank above the commandant was the general. Now that Chu Yunfan had killed two Cosmic demons in a row, once he reported it to the Ministry of War and these military achievements were confirmed, he would be promoted to general immediately. He would then truly step into the middle and upper echelons of Grand Xia's army. As for officers like lieutenants, they were considered basic officers at most and were completely incomparable. Cosmic demons were extremely difficult to kill. Killing one was a huge battle merit.

Chu Yunfan nodded. This was the reason he had not reported the killing of the Cosmic Blood Devil leader earlier. He did not want to alert the enemy. Now, he would report two battle merits in one go. Once the Ministry of War confirmed his battle merits, he would be promoted to general.

Even though he would only be a low-ranking general, he would still be a member of the upper echelons of Grand Xia's army. He was already an officer under the Grand Commandant's Office. Even the Ministry of War would find it difficult to interfere with the mobilization of such a high-ranking officer. When the time came, it would be impossible for Li Qianyuan to use his influence to mobilize Chu Yunfan to join the battlefield.

The Grand Commandant's Office was different from the Ministry of War. It was the true core authority of Grand Xia's military affairs. All officers above the rank of general had to accept the leadership of the Grand Commandant's Office.

The grand commandant of the Grand Commandant's Office was one of the three dukes of Grand Xia and was one of the most powerful people in the empire. There were countless nobles under the Grand Commandant's Office. Even if Li Qianyuan had great means, it was unlikely that he could influence the actions of the Grand Commandant's Office.

This was Chu Yunfan's true goal.

"When I'm promoted, everyone will naturally benefit. At that time, the Grand Commandant's Office will probably order me to form a new army, and when that happens, I will make you all officers of the new army," Chu Yunfan said generously.

You Chuyun was very excited. If Chu Yunfan became a general, he would at least be able to become a commandant under Chu Yunfan. He would become a truly powerful figure. The Baotai soldiers were excited when they heard this. Even the lowest level of soldiers had the opportunity to become officers in the future and leave the civilian class. This was an excellent opportunity for them to rise.

"We are willing to die for you, Colonel Chu!" Everyone half-knelt and bowed their heads.

Chu Yunfan then cut off the stone demon's head and handed it to You Chuyun. He instructed, "Take the stone demon's head to the Ministry of War and report on everyone's military merits."

"Colonel, what will you be doing?" You Chuyun changed the way he addressed Chu Yunfan and looked at him strangely.

"I'm going to leave the battlefield for some time. Bring the troops back to the camp. No matter who comes and asks you to go to the battlefield, you will reject them. Just say that we've suffered heavy casualties and need time to recover. With the credit from killing this stone demon, no one should dare to transfer you away by force," Chu Yunfan said

With the credit from killing the stone demon, the Baotai garrison could take a step back. After all, for a third-line troop like them, it was already shocking enough to be able to kill a Cosmic monster. It was reasonable to say that there were heavy casualties.

Besides Li Qianyuan, who else could forcefully mobilize the Baotai garrison? As long as Li Qianyuan didn't interfere, it didn't matter.

"Yes, Colonel." Although You Chuyun didn't know what Chu Yunfan was up to, he immediately agreed.

Chu Yunfan nodded, stepped on a beam of light, and disappeared into the distance.

"Return to camp!" You Chuyun waved and led the troops back to the camp. They had gained a lot from this battle, and the Baotai garrison needed time to digest their gains.

After leaving the troops, Chu Yunfan sped up and flew into the distance. Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him, and Chu Yunfan's expression turned serious. It was an old man dressed in simple linen clothes. His long hair was tied casually behind his back. He held an iron spear and looked like a cultivator.

Chu Yunfan's expression was slightly solemn. Among the many cultivators, there was a type that was not to be trifled with—the ascetic cultivators. These people were different from ordinary cultivators. They paid attention to hardship to temper themselves. They were often willing to be dull and used many hardships to temper themselves. They did not care about the glory and wealth. They would usually be in seclusion, even living in remote mountains and forests.

These people were not to be provoked. There was a saying that it was better to provoke the king of hell than to provoke an ascetic cultivator.

Among experts of the same level, ascetics were often the best. These people had suffered a lot, but they were willing to be dull. Their deep understanding of the Great Dao was unimaginable to ordinary people.

"The Iron Spears!"

Chu Yunfan spat out these words. He had once seen the same symbol on Gongsun Liang's spear. It was the symbol of the Iron Spear Gang.

There was no doubt that this old man was an ascetic cultivator of the Iron Spears, and he was clearly here with ill intentions. His purpose was obvious. He was here regarding Gongsun Liang.
