Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 136: Choice

Surveillance Department

Chu Zhiyuan sat behind a desk in a small room, with several boxes of files on it.

He flipped through them one by one, which contained information about the Ninth Princess of Great Meng, Li Hongzhao, from her arrival in Yujing to her every move, tracing back to when she joined the Phoenix Sword Sect. All the information was in these eight boxes.

At the same time, Chu Zhiyuan also requested information about the Phoenix Sword Sect of Great Meng.

The Phoenix Sword Sect was similar to the White Cloud Sword Palace, deeply intertwined with the Great Meng court, with each inseparable from the other. The disciples of the Phoenix Sword Sect were all women.

However, their sword techniques were fierce and powerful, Chu Zhiyuan thought thoughtfully.

Martial arts and temperament influence and complement each other.

The more profound the martial art, the more it can influence a person's temperament. Similarly, if a person's temperament does not match the martial art, they cannot practice it well. Since the martial arts of the Phoenix Sword Sect are fierce and powerful, most of the disciples of the Phoenix Sword Sect have the same temperament.

However, judging from Li Hongzhao's actions, she is a beautiful and charming woman, as gentle as water, a woman who couldn't be more feminine. It seems that her actions are extremely deceptive and she is very good at acting.

That requires even more caution.

He carefully examined the martial arts characteristics of the Phoenix Sword Sect, which contained records of the Phoenix Sword Art, which was like a phoenix soaring across the sky, making people feel like they were in magma, making it difficult to breathe, and distorting the light in front of their eyes, making it impossible to see the outside world clearly. Chu Zhiyuan thought thoughtfully.

In this case, if you want to restrain the Phoenix Sword Art, the martial arts of the Moon Invitation Palace are the most suitable. Then use the Jade Splendor Nine Chapters Record?

The aura of the Jade Splendor Nine Chapters Record is gentle, while the aura of the Purple Sun Scripture is scorching. If you want to restrain the Phoenix Sword Art, I am afraid that the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden Art is the most suitable. It is a pity that Xiao Ruoling's cultivation is still too weak. I don't know if helping Xiao Ruoling break through now can still help.

The gap in the great realm means that the aura has already undergone a qualitative change.

Putting down these files, Chu Zhiyuan rubbed his eyebrows.

He flipped through them too quickly and completely memorized them. So much information poured in at once, giving him a feeling of being overwhelmed. "Congratulations, Young Master, on entering the Grandmaster realm."

Ma Tianhe had a flattering smile on his face, sealing the file box while smiling.

Chu Zhiyuan looked up at him.

Ma Tianhe said: "The news that the Young Master will compete with the Ninth Princess five days later has spread, and everyone is waiting for it."

"It spread so quickly..." Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Without asking, he knew it was Li Hongzhao's doing.

This is to maximize the destruction of one's own Dao heart, first creating pressure for oneself, and then creating shadows. Ma Tianhe quickly said: "I didn't expect the Young Master to enter the Grandmaster realm so quickly. You are truly a genius, I admire you!" Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand.

Ma Tianhe said: "Has the Young Master decided to come to our Surveillance Department?"

"To achieve a fifth-rank merit, what step must be taken?"

"For fifth-rank merit, ...you must obtain information at the hall master level, which can only be viewed by the hall master and no one below the hall master."

"For example?"

"If the Ninth Princess and her party secretly leave Tianjing of Great Meng and rush to our Yujing, this is hall master-level information."

"Only finding out that the Ninth Princess secretly left Tianjing?"

"This does not reach the hall master level, it can only be considered academy-level information."

"Then what about going up again?"

"The Ninth Princess and her party secretly leave Tianjing, arrive in Yujing, and want to assassinate a certain important minister, that is the level of the left and right department heads, which can be counted as fourth-rank merit."

"What about third-rank merit?"

"...She wants to assassinate the Emperor."

"What about second-rank merit?"

"She wants to defect to our Great Jing."

"What about first-rank merit?"

"She wants to assassinate the Emperor of Great Meng and then defect to our Great Jing."

"Master Ma, you are very bold, you dare to say anything," Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile: "If she hears you arranging the Ninth Princess like this, she will definitely punish you."

Ma Tianhe said with a flattering smile: "The Ninth Princess is just the Ninth Princess of Great Meng, she is our enemy."

"It seems that first-rank merit is too difficult."

"Or directly assassinating the Ninth Princess yourself, that also counts as first-rank merit. Assassinating the Emperor of Great Meng would be super first-rank."

"In that case..." Chu Zhiyuan sighed.

It is too difficult to achieve fifth-rank merit in the Surveillance Department.

"The Young Master doesn't want to come to our Surveillance Department?"

"It is too difficult to achieve merit in the Surveillance Department, it depends on luck."

"...". The flattering look on Ma Tianhe's face gradually became heavy, and he sighed helplessly: "Many people lurk in Great Meng and Great Zhen, and after half a lifetime, they only have hard work, with few special merits, and many people don't even have a single special merit."

Earning merit in the Surveillance Department does require luck.

Sometimes you accidentally come across a very important piece of information, and then it is a great achievement, but sometimes you can't come across a big piece of news for half a lifetime, and you can only silently harvest some hard work. Although the hard work of the Surveillance Department is also good, better than other departments, it is inevitable that you will be unwilling and eventually leave the department unhappy.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Even if I can't enter the Surveillance Department, I can still cooperate."

"Yes." Ma Tianhe nodded quickly.

Chu Zhiyuan got up and left the Surveillance Department, feeling quite regretful.

If the Surveillance Department is not possible, then the Town Guard Department will not be considered, it is too dangerous.

When passing by the Ministry of Rites, he conveniently turned in to show his face, lest others think he was leaving the Ministry of Rites. "Young Master!"

Gao Lingfeng saw Chu Zhiyuan stepping into the room and quickly got up from behind the desk on the side, cupping his fists in greeting.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and looked around the room.

The desk in the north was still there, the grand master's chair was empty, and a desk was placed vertically on the east side under the steps, with three large stacks of files on it. Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Master Gao is very busy."

"Master!" Gao Lingfeng said with a wry smile: "If the Master doesn't come, these official duties will all be pressed on this subordinate, I can only do my best."

"Thank you for your hard work, the capable ones do more work." Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "How have you been recently?"

"This subordinate is still the same." Gao Lingfeng sighed, personally taking the tea offered by the clerk and presenting it to Chu Zhiyuan with both hands.

Chu Zhiyuan sat behind the desk and took the teacup: "Is there anything important?"

"The biggest thing is the True One Sect matter." Gao Lingfeng frowned and said: "Another elder of the True One Sect has died."

"Bai Jingrong?"

"Not Bai Jingrong, it's Sun Qifang, who died inexplicably at home. It also looks like a heart disease. The murderer has already escaped, and the Town Guard Department is sending experts to hunt him down."

"Sun Qifang..." Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

He knew this name, an elder of the True One Sect, but he had never met this person.

It's just strange, if the Nine Li Divine Sect wants to find the Wonderful Spirit Pearl, shouldn't they be looking for Bai Jingmang's brother Bai Jingrong?

Could it be that the Nine Li Divine Sect also knows that the relationship between the two brothers is extremely strained?

"Bai Jingrong has already come to make trouble twice, and died after not seeing the Master." Gao Lingfeng said in a deep voice.

He couldn't help but think of the scene of Bai Jingrong coming to make trouble, and his temples throbbed with pain.

"The True One Sect is having a bad year." Chu Zhiyuan said.

Gao Lingfeng said: "There are too many experts pouring into the capital now, and the Town Guard Department needs a large number of experts to defend it. Grandmasters cannot leave without authorization. I don't know if they can catch this murderer."

"Difficult." Chu Zhiyuan said.

If it was really done by the Nine Li Divine Sect, it is almost impossible to catch them. As long as they escape into the mountains where the Nine Li Divine Sect's altar is located one step ahead, the Town Guard Department can no longer pursue them.

He quickly put these aside and said: "Master Gao, continue to work hard. I will come back in a few days."

"Is the Master preparing for the competition with the Ninth Princess?"

"You also know about it."

"Master, I estimate that the entire Yujing knows about it."

"Well, the Ninth Princess is not easy to deal with." Chu Zhiyuan said: "I need to prepare well."
