”Currently my True Qi Cannon is still in the primary stage of development, the True Qi Bombs can only use condensed True Qi below the Primordial Pill stage.”

Zhou Yang explained, ”When immortality cultivators reach late Nascent Soul Stage, they can condense True Qi, which I then encapsulate in a specially made hollow Xuan Tie sphere. Seal it well, and a bomb is formed.”

”Of course, the condensed bomb usually needs to be used within a day, otherwise the condensed True Qi will gradually deplete, and if fired, it will have no power.”

Listening to Zhou Yang’s explanation, Qin Tian and the others were captivated.

Qin Tian asked, ”So what about the range of this True Qi Cannon? And its power?”

”It’s still in the primary stage; the range is around three kilometers, and as for power, during experiments, the power of one bomb can cover an area of about a hundred meters,” Zhou Yang said.

Qin Tian nodded and said, ”Impressive, covering a hundred meters, haha. If the power could indeed sufficiently damage the enemy, our True Qi Cannon would be a secret weapon in the future.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Zhou Yang said, ”The issue remains the same as I’ve mentioned before, our main material, Outer Realm Star Iron, is hard to find. Using other materials, it can’t withstand the impact of True Qi Bombs.”

”Another thing is, to maintain condensed True Qi within the hollow iron sphere longer, we need to use some immortality cultivation materials inside to sustain it. But primarily, it’s still Outer Realm Star Iron.”

Qin Tian frowned, ”Old Zhou, what’s this Outer Realm Star Iron you speak of?”

Qin Tian stared at the four True Qi Cannons in front and said, ”I see this; it surely differs from ordinary Xuan Tie, somewhat like refined iron.”

Zhou Yang explained, ”Outer Realm Star Iron, simply put, is refined iron that fell from outer space into the Spiritual Domain. This kind of iron formed in harsh outer realm conditions, has strong toughness, and naturally has a good affinity for True Qi, making it perfect for True Qi Cannon.”

”Refined iron that fell from outer space?”

”Yes, not ordinary iron, but refined iron. The materials for these four cannons were purchased after searching all over East Capital City, spending tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones.”

While speaking, Zhou Yang amusingly took out a receipt and handed it to Qin Tian, smiling, ”Boss, when I couldn’t afford materials in East Capital City, it was too late to inform you. You didn’t say I could freely work on this. So, I borrowed spirit stones from Sister Fan Bing, and she told you when you return to East Capital to pay her back.”

Qin Tian was stunned.

Xiao Zhuang and few others chuckled.

Qin Tian took the receipt, which astonishingly showed a loan for thirty thousand high-grade spirit stones.

The signature at the bottom read ”Zhou Yang on behalf of Qin Tian”, leaving Qin Tian speechless with the sudden debt of thirty thousand.

Seeing Zhou Yang and others laughing at him, Qin Tian speechlessly kept the receipt and said, ”This… no need to be formal, it’s fine, I said I’d cover all expenses, I’ll settle the payment when I return. Old Zhou, keep up the great work, continue researching, I’ll support you with all I’ve got.”

To avoid attracting too much attention, Qin Tian didn’t test the power of the four True Qi Cannons; he planned to surprise the enemies in a major battle to gain victory!

…

Inside the Nine Heavens Holy Hall of the East State Mountain Range, Long Tianwu got news of the Phoenix Immortal Sword unbeknownst to anyone except Qin Tian. So, after Qin Tian and Long Tianwu left, Ninth Prince and Crown Prince and others still sealed off the Nine Heavens Holy Hall, hoping to find that peerless treasure there.

Meanwhile, Qin Tian chose to ignore Ninth Prince’s actions, gathered his troops, and began planning an attack on the Dragon Clan.

Gathering two thousand troops to attack the Dragon Clan seemed quite incredible.

However, Qin Tian was convinced that the Dragon Clan came this time to contest a treasure, and their army of three hundred thousand was merely a facade.

Now that Long Tianwu obtained the Phoenix Immortal Sword and realized no hope in attacking Sea City, she might very well lead her army to retreat.

Thus, Qin Tian considered catching the Dragon Clan troops during retreat to establish merit - this time in the East State War, it was Qin Tian’s last chance to earn credit.

Reflecting, he felt somewhat regretful; originally intending a grand initiative, the armies hadn’t fully engaged, and it was over?

”Boss, are you sure the Dragon Clan will retreat? If not, our rear attack might trap us in a dire situation. I believe caution is necessary since we only have two thousand men.”

As Qin Tian readied to depart, Xiao Zhuang hesitantly advised.

Not only him, but Lin Yu and others also shared Xiao Zhuang’s concerns.

Truthfully, Qin Tian was equally uncertain inside.

Knowing he faced Long Tianwu, a woman elusively deep with unfathomable depths, and now having acquired the Phoenix Immortal Sword, besides retreat, there’s a possibility she might test the sword’s power.

Unless Sea City is fortified enough to dispel any chances for Long Tianwu, only then might she consider retreating; otherwise, this greedy woman might even conquer East State after securing the Phoenix Immortal Sword.

”Let me think... hmm, Old Three, there’s no news from Sea City, right? Our forces firmly stationed at Sea City, no issues?” Qin Tian asked Xiao Zhuang.

Xiao Zhuang nodded, ”From the news we received yesterday, the standoff between Sea City and the Dragon Clan remains unchanged, no issues, very calm.”

”If so, then our rear attack surely has a chance!”

Qin Tian’s eyes gleamed with determination.

However, just as he spoke, a scout entered and whispered to Xiao Zhuang, who suddenly froze and asked, ”Really? Are you sure it’s true?”

The scout replied, ”Yes, there was friction between both sides last night; they started fighting.”

The scout left, and Xiao Zhuang turned back to Qin Tian, surprised and disappointed, ”Boss, Sea City ran into trouble!”

”What happened?!”

Qin Tian, Lin Yu, and others were all taken aback.

Xiao Zhuang explained, ”Sea City had an internal conflict; City Guard Army and the three main camps clashed, fighting broke out last night, leaving nearly a hundred casualties. If not for commanders and Governor Xiao Zhan’s timely intervention, the internal strife might have escalated!”

”Damn it!”

Upon hearing the news, Qin Tian sat back down, feeling disheartened.

”I was just saying Sea City had no issues, giving us a chance to intercept smaller Dragon Clan retreating units for credit, haha, and now it’s turned into internal strife! Chaos within! Damn intelligent choices! With Long Tianwu’s ambition, she might not retreat now!”
