Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

For an entire night, Li Guanqi was immersed in this profound and extraordinary cultivation method.

This technique could currently unlock Li Guanqi's full potential!

The only drawback was that he was only at the initial stage, although the refining speed was at least 30% faster than the previous Great Desolation Heart Sutra.

However, compared to "Divine Punishment", it offered almost no enhancement or amplification of his own power.

But "Divine Punishment" was, after all, a technique from the Spirit Realm and not suitable for the current situation.

However, this night was a sleepless one for many.

In a mansion north of the city, the courtyard was brightly lit.

In the study, four men sat on either side.

One of the men, with a gaunt face, spoke in a deep voice.

"Let's talk about our views on the new Grand Commander who will take office tomorrow."

Across from him, a large, stout man sneered dismissively.

"I don't know where this nobody came from. Why bother with him?"

"I don't know what the City Lord is thinking, to parachute in a Grand Commander."

As he spoke, the large man's gaze involuntarily turned toward the head seat.

Sitting in the head seat was a middle-aged man dressed in luxurious golden brocade robes.

He had a square face, a hooked nose, and a pair of tiger eyes that gleamed sharply.

His thick hands gently tapped the armrest, without saying a word.

"In my opinion, the position of Grand Commander should belong to Brother Zhao."

As soon as these words came out, they were immediately echoed by those around him.

A thin man looked up at Zhao Ke and softly asked.

"Brother Zhao, what do you think about this?"

Zhao Ke smiled coldly, his eyes gazing blankly towards the door as he murmured.

"No matter who he is, I hope he knows what's good for him."

"As long as he doesn't get in our way, everything will be fine."

The others nodded slightly upon hearing this, and then they discussed some other matters before quietly leaving.

After leaving, Zhao Ke went to a secret room.

He then retrieved a storage ring from a teleportation array on a stone platform.

Scanning it with his divine sense, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

However, this time there was also a jade slip inside the storage ring.

There was only one sentence inside. After Zhao Ke listened to it, he destroyed it and quietly left the secret room.

The next morning, Li Guanqi slowly woke up from his cultivation.

A subtle arc of lightning flashed in the depths of his white eyes.

Li Guanqi exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.

His dantian was full, and there was a cluster of lightning seeds resembling a flame in the abdomen of his dantian's nascent soul!

The most difficult part of this technique was the step of condensing the lightning seed.

However, Li Guanqi's constitution was special, and the Spirit Devouring Dao Body possessed top-notch comprehension.

For these obscure and profound cultivation formulas, Li Guanqi only needed to glance at them to understand their core essence.

The enlightenment that other cultivators could only dream of was commonplace for him during every cultivation session.

Li Guanqi relaxed and slowly got up, shaking off the filth from his body with a surge of immortal energy.

He did not put on the silver immortal armor that symbolized his status.

Instead, he changed into his usual white robe, slowly pushed open the door, and walked out.

Li Guanqi wore a jade pendant around his waist, symbolizing his identity.

The place he was going was the city's patrol camp.

Soon, Li Guanqi arrived outside the patrol camp north of the city. The military camp looked imposing.

However, Li Guanqi noticed that most of the cultivators were very lazy.

Scanning with his divine sense, he roughly estimated that there were nearly three hundred cultivators guarding the city!

However, compared to the vast Jade Void City, this number was not large.

Moreover, the lowest cultivation realm of these cultivators was the Integration Realm.

However, these Integration Realm cultivators were not considered to have high cultivation in the Immortal Realm.

With the blessing of rich immortal energy and spiritual energy, even without the blessing of heavenly treasures.

Their cultivation speed was much faster than that of cultivators in the lower realm.

Inside the military camp, there was also a grand hall and pavilions, like a huge mansion.

Li Guanqi walked towards the entrance of the military camp. The black-armored guard at the gate frowned and raised his long knife, blocking Li Guanqi's path. He said in a deep voice.

"The patrol camp is an important place. Leave quickly, idlers!"

Li Guanqi nodded slightly, then took out the jade pendant from his waist and showed it to the two guards.

The front of the jade pendant was engraved with several large characters.

"Jade Void Commander!"

Thump!

When the black-armored guard saw the jade pendant, he knelt on the ground with a thud and said in a deep voice.

"Greetings, Grand Commander!"

Li Guanqi nodded slightly and said softly.

"Take me to the hall."

One of the black-armored guards quickly bowed and led Li Guanqi to the main hall.

Along the way, many black-armored guards unconsciously focused their attention on Li Guanqi.

"Grand Commander? I've never seen this person before!"

"Tsk, parachuted in. I wonder what the other four Deputy Commanders will think."

"Hey, Deputy Commander Zhao Ke has been coveting the position of Commander for a long time. There's going to be a good show."

"Isn't this new Grand Commander a little too young? What is the City Lord thinking? Can this guy hold the fort?"

Li Guanqi walked with his hands behind his back, his expression always calm, as if he didn't hear these discussions.

Now Qi Mobai was also taken away by Lin Chuanqing and settled in the City Lord's Mansion, refining pills all day long.

No matter what kind of precious spiritual herbs Qi Mobai needed, Lin Chuanqing would try his best to satisfy them.

Qi Mobai was also very promising. He could now refine three kinds of first-grade pills.

Li Guanqi didn't pay much attention to this patrol matter. He was just going through the motions.

He probably wouldn't stay in Jade Void City for too long. After learning the technique and movement skills, and improving his strength a little more, he might choose to leave.

Anyway, with Qi Mobai here, Lin Chuanqing wouldn't hold him back.

Creak!

The dark red door opened, and the black-armored guard stood at the door and said in a deep voice.

"Grand Commander, we've arrived."

Li Guanqi nodded slightly and stepped into the main hall, turning his head to instruct.

"Notify the other Deputy Commanders and all the squad leaders to come to the main hall for a meeting in one incense stick's time."

The black-armored guard nodded heavily and then withdrew from the main hall.

Li Guanqi sat in the main seat and waited quietly.

He didn't care about the so-called position of Commander.

As long as the people below didn't cause trouble for him and could manage the affairs of the city well, he was willing to be a hands-off shopkeeper.

To his surprise, in less than half an incense stick's time, the four Deputy Commanders and their deputies had all arrived.

The four Deputy Commanders came together, and soon there were more than a dozen people sitting in the main hall.

This proactive scene surprised Li Guanqi, but he didn't show it.

He looked at the four men in robes below.

Not only was he doing this, but the four Deputy Commanders, led by Zhao Ke, were also silently sizing up this Grand Commander who had suddenly parachuted in.

Unremarkable.

Zhao Ke could only use these four words to describe the young man in front of him, frowning slightly.

He didn't understand why a guy in the second level of the Profound Immortal Realm would be entrusted with such an important task by the City Lord.

Li Guanqi cut to the chase.

"My name is Li Congxin. From now on, you can call me Commander Li."

"I won't stay in Jade Void City for long, so… just maintain the status quo. Just don't cause trouble for me."

His voice was as calm as if he were talking about something unrelated to himself, and his casual attitude made the Deputy Commanders frown.

After Li Guanqi finished speaking, he said to himself.

"Okay, that's all. Dismissed."

After speaking, Li Guanqi left the military camp hall and returned to his own courtyard to continue cultivating.

As soon as he left, Zhao Ke and the others didn't leave. They looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion.

The fat man before didn't even try to hide the sarcasm in his eyes.

"Heh, as expected, he's just a waste. But that's good."
