Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 81 Fifth Rank

Sifang Pavilion

Cheng Tianfeng stood blankly in the small courtyard, raising his head to look at the bright moon in the sky.

The bright moon was like a hook.

Only half of it remained illuminated.

But it was extraordinarily bright.

In the moonlight, Cheng Tianfeng's face was pale, and his eyes were dazed.

The thin old man appeared beside him at some unknown time, and said softly, "Tianfeng, have you figured it out?"

Cheng Tianfeng turned his head to look at the thin old man: "Martial Uncle, I really can't understand why I lost. Weren't we both at the Ninth Level? Moreover, I have the strengths of two families. How could I lose to him?"

"There is something strange about him, otherwise the Celestial Dragon Divine Steeds would not have been tamed."

"Very strange!"

"He must have taken some kind of rare treasure. His physique is strong, and his blood energy is far stronger than ordinary people."

"That must be it!" Cheng Tianfeng gritted his teeth and said, "His strength is far greater than mine, and his speed is also faster than mine. He must have taken some kind of natural treasure!"

He felt that he didn't lose in martial arts, but in luck.

"Next time... next time..." Cheng Tianfeng said bitterly, "I will definitely trample him under my feet!"

The thin old man nodded in satisfaction: "It's good to have this fighting spirit."

Cheng Tianfeng looked at the thin old man: "Martial Uncle, this nephew has a request."

"Tell me," said Mo Chunyu, the thin old man.

"I want to ask Martial Uncle to kidnap that Jian Ruoling back to Da Zhen to be my woman."

"What?"

"Snatch Jian Ruoling! Snatch his woman!"

"Nonsense!" Mo Chunyu's eyes widened immediately, and he pointed at him, opening his mouth, wanting to scold but holding back. Finally, he snorted heavily: "What time is it, and you're still thinking about women!" Mo Chunyu was silent.

"If I snatch her over, I will be able to breathe a sigh of relief, and my heart will be at peace. Otherwise, I will have trouble sleeping and eating!"

He could understand Cheng Tianfeng's pain.

After all, he had been a proud son of heaven since he was a child, and had never suffered such a big loss.

Moreover, in full view of everyone, it concerned the face of Da Zhen and the princess of Da Zhen, yet he was beaten to a pulp and defeated again and again. No one could stand it, and he had to vent it out to calm his mind.

But this kind of venting... ..

"Martial Uncle, is it not possible?"

"This is Yujing, that is the daughter of the Duke's Mansion, the Princess Consort!"

Ordinary women could be snatched, but Jian Ruoling was different.

If Jian Ruoling was really snatched, it would definitely alarm Chu Qingquan.

With a slash of the Son of Heaven Sword, he would be reduced to ashes.

Cheng Tianfeng looked disappointed: "Even you don't dare, Martial Uncle?"

"I don't dare," Mo Chunyu said without hesitation, "I haven't lived enough yet!"

"If we trick her out of the city and kidnap her, by the time Da Jing reacts, we will already be in Da Zhen...."

"Three thousand miles, I can't escape the Son of Heaven Sword even if I rush desperately. One sword will kill me."

"They must first confirm that we kidnapped her, maybe they will delay for a few days."

".. There's no need to take this risk, Tianfeng, don't risk your life for a woman, it's not worth it!"

"Does Da Jing dare to kill me?" Cheng Tianfeng sneered, his face full of disdain: "They wouldn't dare even if they had ten guts!"

"Chu Qingquan dares to cripple you. If he has a reason, His Majesty can't say anything, at most he will cripple Chu Zhiyuan as well."

"Really not possible, Martial Uncle?"

"Really not possible!"

"....." Cheng Tianfeng looked unwilling and looked in the direction of Qing Wang Mansion where Chu Zhiyuan was.

"You should practice hard. Chu Zhiyuan is going to Shenjing. When the time comes, you can spar with him and wipe out your shame!

"I guess I'll be going to Shenjing soon," Cheng Tianfeng shook his head, "It's too late."

"Your master has a Celestial Dragon Pill in his hand. Taking it can strengthen your physique, make you infinitely powerful, and make you as fast as lightning.

"Hmm --?"

"But this pill is dangerous. If you can't withstand its power, you will explode and die."

"That's it!"

"With your current cultivation level, it's easy to deal with someone of the same level, but I didn't expect to encounter such a monster."

Mo Chunyu was very emotional.

Things are unpredictable. Da Jing actually produced such a monster, with heaven-defying luck.

If there was an opportunity to nip this person with the potential of a Grandmaster in the bud, it would be a great achievement for Wentian Cliff and Da Zhen.

But he couldn't take action. Even if he really went to Shenjing, he would have to protect his safety.

Thinking of this, he cast his gaze in the direction of Qing Wang Mansion, then glanced at the direction of the palace, his eyes flickering.

When Chu Zhiyuan woke up the next day, Zou Fangtong reported before he could wash up that Huang Cheng had come early in the morning, bringing the emperor's reward.

Chu Zhiyuan hurriedly washed up and came to the front.

Huang Cheng was wearing a purple robe, with two red-clothed eunuchs beside him. As soon as he entered the hall, he smiled and cupped his fists to congratulate Chu Zhiyuan. Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Eunuch Huang, you've worked hard again. What are His Majesty's orders?"

"This time, this servant has brought this," Huang Cheng said with a smile, taking out a jade token from his sleeve and presenting it to Chu Zhiyuan with both hands: "Congratulations, Young Master Yuan."

Chu Zhiyuan took the jade token, which was a Fifth Rank Merit Token.

The smile quickly spread across his entire face. Chu Zhiyuan cupped his fists: "Eunuch Huang, please convey my gratitude. Thank you, Royal Grandfather." Fifth Rank Merit.

It was two ranks stronger than originally thought.

He originally thought that it would be good to have a Seventh Rank Merit.

The difference of two ranks was too great.

"This servant will convey the young master's gratitude to His Majesty," Huang Cheng said with a smile: "Congratulations, Young Master Yuan. With this Fifth Rank Merit, the young master will surely be even more powerful."

"I'll take Eunuch Huang's good words," Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile: "Fifth Rank Merit, I'll go and see what I can exchange for in a few days."

"If it were this servant, I would exchange for an elixir, but Young Master Yuan is different, so this servant dare not make any suggestions."

"What elixir would Eunuch Huang exchange for?"

"This servant was weak in blood energy, so I exchanged for a Yuan Blood Pill, but Young Master Yuan's blood energy is surging like a river, so it's different."

"Then what suggestions does Eunuch Huang have?" Chu Zhiyuan asked with interest.

Huang Cheng was a Grandmaster.

"If you want this servant to say, exchange for a Myriad Enlightenment Pill," Huang Cheng said with a smile: "Taking this pill will make one's mind flash with inspiration and enter a strange state. Many who are Innate Perfection have found their Grandmaster path through this pill."

"Myriad Enlightenment Pill..." Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile: "There is such an elixir."

"It can only be taken once in a lifetime," Huang Cheng said: "After taking it once, it will be useless the next time."

"Then why not save it until Grandmaster Perfection?"

"The Myriad Enlightenment Pill is of no use in finding the Grandmaster path," Huang Cheng shook his head: "You can only realize it yourself."

"Myriad Enlightenment Pill..." Chu Zhiyuan cupped his fists: "Okay, thank you, Eunuch."

Huang Cheng said with a smile: "This servant is just giving my own opinion. Young Master, you might as well ask more questions."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

"By the way, I also need to discuss something with Royal Grandfather, the placement of the two Celestial Dragon Divine Steeds."

"How does Young Master want to place them?"

"Enter Little Red Cloud Mountain."

"This..." Huang Cheng looked embarrassed: "Young Master, these two precious horses are more than enough to enter Flying Swallow Valley. Entering Little Red Cloud Mountain is a bit..."

Entering Little Red Cloud Mountain would be too much bullying for the demons.

After the two of them enter, they will inevitably dominate Little Red Cloud Mountain, and all the demons in Little Red Cloud Mountain will suffer.

"Then let them enter Flying Swallow Valley."

".. Please allow this servant to report to the Emperor."

"Thank you, Eunuch."

Chu Zhiyuan had been thinking about how to place these two divine steeds.

Although it would be safer to put them in the Royal Mansion, the Royal Mansion was too cramped for them to run around, which would be too unfair to them. They were originally spirits of the world and should not be forcibly confined to the stable.

If they were released into the wild, he would feel unsafe.

What if a Grandmaster ran over and caught them?

If they could not be subdued in the end, they might be forced to commit suicide. So it was best to put them in the hunting ground.

The hunting grounds were guarded by imperial guards, and no outsiders were allowed to enter. They could also run freely inside. He didn't leave the inner city all day long now. Even the most divine horse couldn't run in the inner city.

When he became a Grandmaster, he could leave the inner city at will and ride them again.

Huang Cheng bid farewell and left, and Chu Zhiyuan returned to Tingtao Courtyard.

Super-Sense had already been observing the flying knife and the jade pendant fragments.

After a night of moonlight nourishment, there was no change in their appearance. They were still dull and unattractive.

Under Super-Sense, there was a faint glow in the two flying knives.

Through this ray of light, he saw tiny characters as thin as hair, faintly visible, seemingly there and seemingly not.

One flying knife was written with "Wen", and the other was written with "Xin".

Chu Zhiyuan raised his sword-like eyebrows.

"Wen Xin". Wen Xin Knife?

He quickly rummaged through his memories in his mind. He gained nothing.

Wentian Cliff, Wen Xin Knife, the names were a bit similar.

But the martial arts inheritance of Wentian Cliff had always been a mystery, and the Surveillance Division had no clues.

He thought about it and finally placed it on the artificial hill, telling Zou Fang and the four girls of Moyi not to move it randomly. Maybe after absorbing enough moonlight, more clues would be revealed.
