Chapter 825: Loyal Ministers of the Celestial Dynasty
"Finally, the errand came."
In the clean room of the practice, Chu Chen played with the [Human Letter Seal] with a faint smile on his face.
He has been at home these past few days, and he has not been idle. He originally planned to use [Thunder Essence] to warm up various magic weapon-level divine seals.
Unexpectedly, while distractedly studying the [Heavenly Essence Spirit Weapon Art], I would gain something unexpected.
While he was deducing the art of war, he understood the power of arranging troops and summoning the heaven and earth. He occasionally had some enlightenment and realized some of the essence of "humanity" among the three talents of "heaven, earth and man", and then he sacrificed and refined the fifth-grade [Human Letter Seal] in one fell swoop.
It becomes a magic weapon-level "Dharma Seal".
Among the "Twelve Seals of Heavenly Essence Spiritual Inscriptions", the three seals of "Heaven, Earth and Man" are the most important and are the core of the twelve divine seals.
[People's Letter Seal] There are magical powers such as group "fingering", group invisibility, group change, group disguise, etc., which make the military formation ever-changing, unpredictable, and even more powerful, which is extremely important.
Because of this, he immediately used all the remaining [Thunder Essence] to warm and nourish the [Human Letter Seal] that had just been upgraded to a magic weapon.
In just one or two days, the spiritual power of [Human Letter Seal] is equivalent to two years of normal nourishment of Divine Seal.
This made him quite satisfied and saved him a lot of hard work.
"No wonder Frog God Jin Lan is so obsessed with [Thunder Essence], it is indeed a good treasure."
Chu Chen is looking forward to the next invitation from the frog god Jin Lan.
In addition to the unexpected gains from the [Human Letter Seal], Chu Chen also did not forget to help his three ghost generals refine the [Innate Form-Transforming Qi to break through to the fourth-level divine generals.
After a few days, the results came out.
Two ghost generals successfully gave birth to "primordial spirits", summoned the original Dao Qi of the flying god generals, broke through to the fourth level of god generals, and gained the cultivation level of a great god channel.
As for the other ghost general, he failed and could not successfully break through.
After the failure, the ghost general felt quite ashamed and immediately apologized to Chu Chen, saying that he had let down his cultivation and so on.
Chu Chen didn't have much opinion on this.
It is normal for a breakthrough to fail. He had expected it and was not too disappointed.
On the contrary, I am happy that two ghost generals have broken through to the fourth level of divine generals.
Two more fourth-grade flying generals were added.
His military and horse powers have reached a new level.
"Brother, are you okay? You're not alive anymore. I'm exhausted from staying at home every day."
"coming."
Chu Chen put the [Human Letter Seal] in his sleeve and stood up to go out. He was not excited at all, his expression was as usual.
In fact, after Han Chen learned about Li Bu's situation a few days ago, he contacted him immediately and said that he could help him transfer to a department to prevent him from being unhappy with his stay in Li Bu.
However, Chu Chen didn't think much about it and declined.
Taoist Feilong, the deputy minister, has not shown any hostility at the moment. Although the proposal at the high-level seminar was suspected of "seeking personal gain", it was overall reasonable and reasonable, and Chu Chen could not find anything wrong with it.
If he were Master Huixin, he would probably agree to the proposal.
To take a step back, even if Feilong Taoist targeted him, he would not just transfer him away.
Taoist Feilong is only the second-in-command, and there is Master Huixin, the second-in-command, and a deputy minister, Konggu Shanren, who cannot cover the sky with one hand.
For example, when it comes to errand arrangements, Master Huixin has the main decision-making power.
Even if part of the decision-making power is delegated, it will be to the two deputy ministers, rather than to Taoist Feilong having the final say.
Today, the person who summoned Chu Chen was the deputy minister of Libu, a native of Konggushan.
...
Libu left courtyard, study room.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, please sit down!"
The figure of the Konggu Mountain Man is similar to that of the Jiuqiu Mountain Man, with a heavy back and muscular body, no hair on the top of his head, and a shiny bald head, which makes him look even more powerful. The whole person is like a ferocious humanoid beast, which is intimidating.
Even when he smiles, he gives people a "strong and domineering" feeling.
"I've met fellow Taoist Konggu."
Chu Chen was not polite and sat down next to Konggu Shanren, appearing very skillful.
In fact, in the past few days, he did not stay in the cave all day long to practice cultivation. He would go to Libu Dianmao every day and only returned to his cave after learning that there was no errand.
During this process, he did not forget to move.
Speaking of which, it can be regarded as fate. Konggu Shanren is the direct lineage master uncle of Jiuqiu Shanren.
After Chu Chen mentioned the past, the relationship between the two suddenly became closer.
This can also be regarded as "running in both directions".
Even if Taoist Feilong, the two deputy ministers of the Li Department, were not targeting him, they would probably not look at him differently. He didn't need to think too much, they must be close to the Konggu Mountain people.
As a weak deputy minister, when the Konggushan people saw Chu Chen taking the initiative to visit him, he naturally wanted it.
Especially when Konggushanren read Chu Chen's resume, he was pleasantly surprised and shocked.
Chu Chen's resume is extremely rich. He started as a nine-level candidate for immortal officials, from the grassroots county ghost and god secretary to the county capital manager, the director of the county ghost and god department, the county capital manager, and the state capital manager. He also served as the mountain chief of the Taoist Academy and the county supervisor.
, Deputy Supervisor of Zhouzuo...
The performance evaluation of each term was excellent, many of which were top-notch. During his tenure, he made countless meritorious services, including state notification awards, eight state awards and other major achievements.
From his resume, it is not difficult to see that this is an immortal official with extremely outstanding abilities.
Of course, what surprised him even more was that Chu Chen was so young that he envied him and had terrifying cultivation talent.
It only took ten years to go from being a Taoist boy to becoming a great supernatural power. Four years after reaching the realm of great supernatural powers, his Taoist cultivation reached the middle stage of the fourth level, and he had a strong record of slaying monsters with great supernatural powers.
His talent for cultivation is so high and his Taoist and supernatural powers are so powerful that it is jaw-dropping.
The people of Konggu Mountain are used to seeing the so-called geniuses. He himself was also a sensational genius in the past. However, he has only seen such an extremely talented person like Chu Chen in immortal biographies, and this is the first time he has witnessed it with his own eyes.
, get acquainted.
It is precisely because of this that the people of Konggu Mountain welcomed Chu Chen's approach and tried their best to win over him.
After a few pleasantries, Konggushanren got straight to the point and responded to Chu Chen’s surrender, saying:
"Fellow Daoist Chu, I asked you to come here today. There is something I need you to go to. I wonder if you are free right now?"
Chu Chen was happy, of course he was free.
"Fellow Taoist Konggu, if you have anything to do, just ask me."
The Konggu Mountain man nodded slightly and said:
"There is a family of casual cultivators surnamed Li in Yuezhou. They care deeply about the Celestial Empire. They joined our Celestial Court in the early years. They have been working for the Celestial Empire privately, providing information, and have made a lot of contributions, which is quite rare."
Chu Chen nodded, which was indeed quite rare.
Among the eight southwest states, Yunzhou, Cangzhou, Lanzhou, and Muzhou are close to the Great Kyushu, and the Celestial Dynasty is relatively powerful. With its operations over the years, it has gradually taken a dominant position in the local area.
The other four more remote states, such as Yuezhou, are relatively weak and can barely defend themselves by occupying the city. The situation is similar to the situation in Yunzhou six or seven years ago.
The Sanxiu family surnamed Li has taken refuge in the Immortal Court of the Celestial Dynasty early. It is not forced by the situation, but sincerely. They are true compatriots of the Celestial Dynasty and fellow Taoists of the Celestial Court.
Chu Chen frowned slightly:
"But the Li family is in trouble?"
"good!"
Konggushanren nodded and said: "Last night, the Li family sent a message to the Celestial Empire as usual, but the [Yin Book] and [Yin Talisman] were wrong and completely inconsistent. The Immortal Court suspected that the Li family was in trouble..."
[Yin Shu Yin Fu] comes from the Military Book [Tai Gong's Six Tao]. Among them, "Dragon Tao - Yin Shu" and "Dragon Tao - Yin Fu" describe how kings and generals kept secret communications during war.
On the basis of "Tai Gong's Six Tao", the Celestial Dynasty established the system of "Yin Shu Yin Fu".
[Yin Shu] is a confidential communication document, and [Yin Fu] is a password.
The Immortal Court of Heaven has a magical power in [Yin Shu Yin Talisman]. Under normal circumstances, there will be no mistakes.
If there is an error, the most likely source of the document is something happened to the Li family in Yuezhou.
"Fellow Taoist Konggu, do you mean to let me go to the Li family?"
"good!"
Taoist Konggu nodded and said: "The Li family has five masters of fifth-grade Taoist cultivation. Two of them are in the late fifth-grade. They have thousands of clansmen. They can be regarded as a medium-level cultivating force with quite good strength. Once they encounter trouble, things will definitely happen."
It’s not small, and it’s very likely that it involves the level of a powerful person with great supernatural powers.”
"It's not convenient for us to take action in Yuezhou. Fellow Daoist Chu, I heard that you are good at escaping. You might as well take a trip and see what happened to the Li family?"
...
The Li family is in the west of Yuezhou, three thousand miles away from Cangzhou.
Chu Chen did not call for the powerful tiger king to take his place, but only took the little ghost boy and galloped away in the clouds and mist.
In just over an hour, one person and one ghost arrived at Xiangfan Mountain.
Chu Chen used his escape method and transformed into an old man, wearing a crane-feather cloak and a bamboo hat on his head. His face was full of the vicissitudes of time, and he had attained the fifth level of Dzogchen Taoism and cultivation. His eyes were full of perseverance and gloominess.
Unable to achieve ambition.
The realm of great supernatural powers is a natural chasm. Countless practitioners are trapped in this bottleneck. They waste two years and are ultimately doomed. Their Taoist cultivation will not advance but retreat, and the path to immortality will eventually be extinct.
The "old man" who is transformed into an immortal by Chu Chen is very common in the world of spiritual practice.
"Senior brother, Xiangfan Mountain has arrived, where is the Li family?"
The little ghost boy held the map of Yuezhou and transmitted his voice with his spiritual consciousness.
"The family of casual cultivators who have been crawling around in the wilderness have always been cunning, and the Celestial Empire does not know the specific location of the Li family."
"what is it now?"
Chu Chen smiled. Although the Celestial Empire did not know the specific location of the Li family, it did know the peripheral forces of the Li family.
Immediately, Chu Chen took the map of Yuezhou from the little ghost boy and pointed at the location marked "Jinchan Xiangfanfang City" in Xiangfan Mountain. Clouds formed under his feet and he hurried over.
As a human race casual cultivator, the Li family, in addition to practicing Immortal Dao techniques, is also very good at alchemy. They opened a shop in the market opened by Jinchan Palace and started a business of selling elixirs and refining elixirs on their behalf.
Alchemists are very popular in the spiritual world, especially powerful alchemists.
This is even more true in the wilderness.
The Li family's alchemy skills were already good. After joining the Celestial Empire, they received various financial aids and their alchemy skills improved to a higher level.
Relying on their superb alchemy skills, the Li family has prospered in the Xiangfan Mountain area of Yuezhou in recent years and made a lot of money.
Of course, this is only one of the benefits of the Li family joining the Celestial Empire. There are countless other magical powers and so on.
Jinchanxiangfangui City, Guixiangdan Pavilion.
Chu Chen stood at the door of "Guixiangdan Pavilion" and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw people coming and going in the shop.
Before coming, he and the Konggu Mountain people prepared for the worst case that the Li family would be killed.
Currently, "Guixiangdan Pavilion" has not closed down, which proves that the situation in the Li family is not that bad.
“I don’t know what’s going on with the Li family!”
Chu Chen couldn't help but feel curious, and immediately stepped into the Dan Pavilion.
"Senior, please invite me to the private room upstairs!"
The waiter in the shop had a very sharp eye and saw Chu Chen's "fifth level of Taoism and cultivation" at a glance, so he respectfully invited him upstairs.
Not long after, a middle-aged monk with a fifth-level Taoist training and dressed like the owner of the Dan Pavilion came to the private room, smiled and held his hand to Chu Chen:
"Welcome to you, fellow Taoist, my surname is Li and Shuangyao. I am polite."
Chu Chen was overjoyed when he heard this. This Li Shuangyao was one of the five masters of the Li family.
Immediately, he stood up quickly, returned the gift with his hands, and an old voice rang out: "I heard that your Guixiang Dan Pavilion has superb alchemy skills, fair business, and is an innocent child. I came here because of your reputation. I want to ask your pavilion to help me refine it.
Li Shuangyao was stunned when he heard this. [Guicang Dan] is not a real panacea, but a code word.
"Guicang" is homophonic to "Guichang", which means returning to Dachang.
Li Shuangyao was overjoyed and said with a smile:
"This is a big deal, fellow Taoist, let's discuss it in detail in the backyard."
They moved to change the scenery, and not long after, the two of them came to the backyard side hall with dense restrictions.
Arriving at the secret place, Li Shuangyao stopped pretending. He was quite familiar with Chu Chen, whom he had never met before, and smiled loudly:
"Messenger, do you have something to say to the Immortal Court of Heaven?"
"There is nothing wrong with the Heavenly Court."
Chu Chen shook his head, feeling quite puzzled. Looking at Li Shuangyao's appearance, it didn't look like the Li family was in trouble.
As soon as he thought about this, Chu Chen's consciousness fell on Li Shuangyao. After some snooping, he saw that his eyes were clear and his aura was pure, with no evil spirit at all, and he felt calm.
His clone [Five-color Dream Dragon] took away the body of the demon, and he had the magical power to incarnate as the [Red Dragon Demon King]. He was able to seize the body of the demon, and the upper body of the evil demon was extremely sensitive.
Li Shuangyao's mere fifth-grade Taoist cultivation level could not escape his discernment at all.
Seeing that there was no problem with the Li family in front of him, he asked:
"Fellow Taoist Shuangyao, are your Li family in trouble?"
"Messenger, how did you know that our Li family is in trouble?"
Hearing this, Li Shuangyao looked shocked and explained in surprise:
"We did encounter a little trouble last night. The patriarch's practice went awry and he fell into a demonic barrier. But everything is fine now. Messenger, what's wrong?"
"It doesn't matter! It's okay now."
When Chu Chen heard this, he looked suddenly enlightened.
If the head of the Li family encountered a demonic obstacle, then it would make sense.
Encountering a demonic obstacle and being contaminated by the evil spirit, the [Yin Shu Yin Talisman] will self-destruct and become disorganized in order to keep it secret.
What a good guy, I actually encountered something wrong and my trip was in vain.
For a moment, Chu Chen had complicated thoughts, but overall he was still happy.
In Yuezhou, where the Celestial Dynasty does not have an absolute advantage, it is extremely rare for the Li family to turn their hearts to the Celestial Empire. It is good news that the Li family is fine.
After some pleasantries with Li Shuangyao, Chu Chen didn't stay for long and went straight out of Guixiangdan Pavilion.
He can go back to the Demonic Academy to pay errands.
"Senior brother, are we going back to the Demonic Academy?"
On the streets of Fangshi, the little devil asked via voice transmission: "Don't you want to go to the Li family's residence?"
"The Rogue Cultivator family is extremely taboo about where they are stationed, and they don't want others to inquire about it at will. Since things are right, we naturally don't want to offend others."
The little kid nodded slightly, thoughtfully, with hesitation in his eyes:
"Senior brother, I seem to see the aura of disaster in Li Shuangyao, but I can't see clearly. It's a bit weird."
Chu Chen's expression changed slightly when he heard this:
