Since we are on the same side, An Yiqing is no longer secretive. The urgent task for the Sanfeng Association is to remove the internal cancer, eradicate the rebels and traitors. In order for the plan to proceed smoothly, An Yiqing lent the youngest two brothers from the An’s family, An Zhiqing and An Zhishang, to Shen Tian and the others.

Although these two are young, Shen Tian and the others do not dare to doubt their abilities. The scene that killed members of the Jiang Family instantly is still unforgettable; An Zhiqing and An Zhishang are ruthless in their methods, which is evident to all.

With two additional super warriors, Xie Xiaoran and the others breathed a sigh of relief. For some reason, they have developed an inexplicable trust in An Yiqing, feeling she is an omnipotent existence.

"Xiao Qing, what is your opinion on the Sanfeng Association?" Xie Xiaoran asked.

An Yiqing silently raised her head, gave him a faint look, and parted her red lips to utter a single word. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"Weak!"

Everyone’s mouth twitched uniformly; An Yiqing’s words were like a bolt from the blue, blasting them into a dizzy stupor.

"Uh, could you elaborate?" Xie Xiaoran asked awkwardly.

An Yiqing nodded, "Extremely weak."

A gust of cold wind blew in from outside the window, yellow leaves falling desolately in the air, chilling Xie Xiaoran and the others to their core.

"Um... Miss An, do you have any good suggestions?" Shen Tian took a deep breath, pulling himself out of the blow, and asked humbly.

"Regarding the Sanfeng Association, I’m not deeply acquainted. But from what I’ve caught from your conversation over these days, I can summarize it in three words: chaotic, weak, dying." An Yiqing extended three fingers, "The Sanfeng Association’s forces are too chaotic, the infighting is fierce, and the military spirit unstable, how can they confront outsiders? Secondly, weak. The troop strength is not robust, lacking a systematic training plan, scattered like decrepit soldiers. Thirdly, and most annoyingly, dying. Despite the Sanfeng Association’s century-old foundation being reputable—people trust them more—but in truth, they’re living off past glories and exploiting old reputations. The rules are fixed, metality inflexible, unable to adapt. Today is a new era, the martial world has evolved. The Sanfeng Association is insufficiently reformed, too many old veterans are clinging to traditions. Recovery would be miraculous."

Xie Xiaoran and the others listened in a daze, Shen Tian’s hands shook with excitement. An Yiqing’s words echoed his thoughts, yet they seemed insurmountable to change swiftly.

"Miss An, do you have any solutions?" He asked roundly.

"Naturally. Since it is chaotic, weak, dying—figure out how to make it orderly, strong, thriving." An Yiqing glanced at Shen Tian, "Throughout history, those who achieve greatness must use both soft and hard tactics. Be ruthless and merciless towards rebels, never show clemency; for your own people, win them over with virtue and inspire trust. Tyrants instill fear but never earn respect. Those who win the hearts of people win the world; this principle should be understood by all."

Xie Xiaoran nodded repeatedly, then remembered he just had brain surgery, so he began to blink. Meanwhile, Xie Huan lowered his gaze, falling into deep contemplation; An Yiqing’s words profoundly shook him.

"What Miss An says is sensible, but facing rebels, although ruthlessness and mercilessness are required, we are now gelded by a lack of strength. Alas!" Shen Tian chuckled bitterly.

An Yiqing raised an eyebrow and looked at him, "Counselor Shen, with me here, what are you afraid of?"

Shen Tian was stunned, with me here, what are you afraid of? Such arrogance, yet so... convincing.

An Yiqing took the medicine chest, rummaged inside for a long time, and took out a small vial stained with orchid.

"Inside here are Concentrated Spirit Pills, capable of transforming ordinary people into Ancient Martial Artists. First distribute them for the brothers to consume. Counselor, make sure it’s given to only those who are absolutely trustworthy, or else if this leaks, I’ll be in big trouble!"

Shen Tian took the vial dumbfounded, his mind struggling to comprehend. Even those experienced in major events like Xie Xiaoran and Xie Huan seemed lost in the clouds, unable to grasp what was happening.

The shock today is too much; first, An Yiqing’s people instantaneously killed the Galaxy Sect members; then An Yiqing joined the Sanfeng Association; now, she has provided them with medicine that can transform them into Ancient Martial Artists!

Ordinary people becoming Ancient Martial Artists—something they previously dared not even dream of!

"Xiao, Xiao Qing, this medicine..." Xie Xiaoran, an Ancient Martial Artist himself, experienced a fortuitous encounter in childhood, gaining extraordinary skills ever since. Nonetheless, he understands full well that Ancient Martial Artists start training from a young age; a formed adult can’t possibly train. He can hardly believe An Yiqing possesses such a miraculous medicine.
