Imperial Cultivation

.... .... . Bai Ning霜 hurriedly returned during the midday meal.

She came and went like the wind, quickly removing all her gold hairpins and jade ornaments, gold tiaras and jade pendants, and breathed a sigh of relief as she sat down.

Chu Yi hurried forward to massage her waist and said with a smile, "Mother, you've worked hard. Why did you come back so late? Why didn't you eat at the Empress's place?" Bai Ning霜 glanced at Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Yi immediately laughed, "What does it have to do with Big Brother?"

"It's all because of Ruo Ling!"

"What's wrong with Sister Xiao?"

"This morning, the West Palace Empress summoned me over."

"Mother, you finally met the West Palace Empress. Is it because of Sister Xiao?"

"Ruo Ling was also there," Bai Ning霜 said helplessly, "The West Palace Empress apologized to me, saying that she had delayed your Big Brother's marriage."

"What else?" Chu Yi laughed, "She wouldn't just say that, would she? Big Brother isn't like those other officials."

Big Brother is the heir, surnamed Chu.

"She's preparing to promote your Big Brother, by two ranks."

"Big Brother will be promoted to Left Vice Minister? Hehe, wouldn't that be the same as the Duke of Anguo? What about the Duke of Anguo then?"

"He'll go to the Ministry of Personnel to be the Left Vice Minister."

"Oh, so everyone's getting promoted," Chu Yi said in surprise, "Is this compensation for Sister Xiao? Or for Big Brother?" When Chu Zhiyuan entered the Ministry of Rites, she had already thoroughly understood everything.

She knew all the court positions like the back of her hand.

Above the Assistant Minister is the Minister, and above the Minister are the Left and Right Vice Ministers.

"There's no other way," Bai Ning霜 said, "We can't let your Big Brother sit on equal footing with his father-in-law, can we?"

"Big Brother is essentially taking over his father-in-law's position, hehe, interesting," Chu Yi said with a delicate laugh, "Big Brother, congratulations, a leap of two ranks!" Once you reach the level of Assistant Minister, it's not easy to get promoted even one rank. You have to accumulate a lot of merit, and many people can't get promoted their whole lives.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

This could be considered the Emperor's compensation. He wasn't originally that enthusiastic about the throne.

He wanted the throne mainly because the Son of Heaven Sword was powerful, and he wanted to control the Son of Heaven Sword in order to control his own destiny. But he also knew that power comes with responsibility.

The Son of Heaven Sword is indeed powerful, but its power is related to the order and chaos of the world.

If the world is in chaos, the people's hearts are scattered, and there is disunity, the power of the Son of Heaven Sword is completely lost.

So, if you control the Son of Heaven Sword, you have to work hard to govern the world well, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and the people's hearts are with you. Once you control the Son of Heaven Sword, you can't wholeheartedly cultivate.

But now, he suddenly changed his mind.

Looking at the Emperor's grandeur, a single sentence can mobilize Grandmasters, and a single sentence can make everyone run around.

If this way of life doesn't conflict with immortality, why can't he have both? Wouldn't that be even more perfect? What's more, if he controlled powerful cultivation resources, he would probably already be a Grandmaster at the peak by now.

Why bother spending so much effort and running around for merit?

He not only wants to become a Grandmaster, but also wants to be immortal, so he has to control more powerful resources. It's easier to succeed with the supply of resources from the entire Great Jing.

"Big Brother, you're not happy even after being promoted?" Chu Yi said with a pout, "Otherwise, should we not let Sister Xiao compete for the Holy Maiden of the Moon Invitation Palace?"

Chu Zhiyuan coughed lightly twice and said, "From Assistant Minister to Left Vice Minister, there's even more to do, and no time to cultivate."

Chu Yi tilted her head playfully and said, "Then resign from this Left Vice Minister position and continue being an Assistant Minister?"

"That's not necessary," Chu Zhiyuan coughed lightly, "Just find a capable subordinate, ... did she say anything else?"

She has been staying in the mansion for the past thirty years, and hasn't had any worries. She hasn't been exposed to the wind and sun, so the traces of time are very light. But after all, she is the mother of two children, and the children are so old, how could she not show any signs of aging?

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "She must have taken some kind of miraculous elixir."

"If there really were miraculous elixirs, it would have spread throughout the palace long ago! ... It's the martial arts of the Moon Invitation Palace, it seems that all the disciples of the Moon Invitation Palace don't look old, but the West Palace Empress is the youngest, maybe she practices it better," Bai Ning霜 said. She looked at Chu Zhiyuan and said, "It would be good if Ruo Ling could enter, at least she wouldn't look old. You'll know how precious it is when you reach my age, nothing can bring back youth."

"The Moon Invitation Palace might have this kind of elixir," Chu Yi's eyes lit up, "Have Sister Xiao give me some in the future."

"Don't worry, if there really is this kind of elixir, you'll get your share," Chu Zhiyuan said.

The setting sun.

The setting sun enveloped Jade Capital, dyeing it rose-colored.

Chu Zhiyuan sat on the bed in his new residence, his expression solemn, his brow furrowed. The thing he was most worried about had happened.

The first level of the Dragon Transformation Art had reached perfection again.

Dragon Fat Incense could no longer change his meridians.

After its aura entered his meridians, there was no longer a burning sensation, no sensation at all, and it could not further strengthen his meridians.

The Meridian Cleansing Art destroys the meridians, the Dragon Transformation Art repairs the meridians, and the Dragon Fat Incense merges into this process, but it can no longer strengthen the meridians. It only restores them to their original state.

The only use of Dragon Fat Incense is to accelerate the repair.

Only for repair, there is no need for Dragon Fat Incense, the Imperial Heaven Empress Earth Sutra can do it.

Chu Zhiyuan switched the Dragon Transformation Art to the fifth level of membrane refinement again. Driven by the Flying Dragon Pearl, the membrane refinement continued, vibrating his internal organs and strengthening his body. He pushed open the window.

The unique atmosphere of the evening poured into the room, entering his mouth and nose.

This is a unique atmosphere that combines fragrant grass and cooking smoke, a unique atmosphere of worldly life. His expression was solemn as he pondered countermeasures.

Should he switch to a stronger meridian refinement art?

In all the world, is there any sect whose meridian refinement art is superior to the Dragon Transformation Art, superior to the Dragon Subduing Sect's?

The Meridian Cleansing Art of the Imperial Void Sword Sect is already the top meridian refinement technique in the world, but it is still slightly inferior to the first level of the Dragon Transformation Art. He searched in the Tongtian Pavilion and the Mingwu Hall, but could not find any technique that could surpass the meridian refinement of the first level of the Dragon Transformation Art. If the technique is not good, then how can he continue to strengthen his meridians?

Not being able to withstand the fourteen Dragon Binding Ropes is still not strong enough.

It's a pity that there are no miraculous pills similar to the Wind Riding Pill that can break the shackles of the meridians, break through the limits, and continue to advance. If he could find this type of elixir, he could continue to practice the first level of the Dragon Transformation Art and continue to use the Dragon Fat Incense.

Thinking of this, he got out of bed and prepared to go to the Tianbao Division.

The Tianbao Division is next to the Tongtian Pavilion. After leaving the new residence, you have to walk through two streets.

Not long after leaving the new residence, he saw Li Hongzhao in the bustling crowd of Phoenix Avenue. Li Hongzhao was wearing a dark green robe, changing her usual red.

The wide dark green robe concealed her graceful figure, her figure was slender and straight, and she walked gracefully like smoke, radiating brilliance. Surrounded by several Cloud Treading Iron Riders, she strolled leisurely on the street.

When she saw Chu Zhiyuan, she suddenly narrowed her phoenix eyes. Chu Zhiyuan looked towards her.

Their gazes collided in the gaps between the crowd, and sparks seemed to fly. Chu Zhiyuan suddenly smiled, stepped forward and came close to her.

Four Cloud Treading Iron Riders stood in front of her. Guo Chi and the other four stepped forward.

Under their hard training, the Four Spirits Formation became more and more refined. The force seemed to be a forward collision, but it was actually a horizontal push.

The four Cloud Treading Iron Riders were caught off guard, staggered a few steps and made way.

Chu Zhiyuan came to Li Hongzhao and cupped his fist and said with a smile, "Your Highness, your elegance is even more outstanding than before. It seems that the fine wine of the Linglong Bookstore is very nourishing."

"The wine in the Linglong Bookstore is indeed very good, and the beauties are also very good," Li Hongzhao chuckled, squinting at him, "Unfortunately, some people cannot enjoy it."
