The Sword God is the person who must be found.
This is not merely for the sake of the Nine-Turn Longevity Pill, but to ensure the future dominance of the Great Qin cavalry across the world.
Maps have revealed that beyond the major empires, there lie vast, uncharted oceans. Only by joining forces with the Sword God can the military might of Great Qin be truly elevated.
Ying Zheng believes that if he can befriend the Sword God, the bond of their shared lineage might grant him the divine Nine-Turn Longevity Pill to extend his life. This is the primary reason he prioritizes finding the Sword God.
As for the Immortal Physician, her value lies in the longevity pills she possesses. Although they can only extend life by a decade, if they could be mass-produced and bestowed upon generals and men of talent, it would be equivalent to granting them ten more years of service. Under the command of such generals, the Great Qin cavalry would be unstoppable.
Zhang Han understood perfectly. Fully grasping the gravity of the matter, he replied with a solemn expression, "As you command, Your Majesty."
Ying Zheng signaled for him to withdraw. Zhang Han bowed and backed away, only turning once he reached the palace doors.
