At a quarter o'clock, the sky was slightly bright, and the ministers entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony to pay their respects for the morning.
At this time, sitting on the golden dragon chair was a middle-aged man wearing an imperial robe and an imperial crown. He was Emperor Ming of Chu. Although the emperor was already in his early fifties and had been in power for more than twenty years, his complexion was rosy.
With a short beard, he looks very young, with a majestic demeanor, bright eyes, and an air of enlightenment.
"I'm waiting to see you, Your Majesty!"
Above the court, all the ministers knelt down and worshiped at the same time.
"Everyone is safe!"
After Emperor Chu Ming finished speaking, he picked up a memorial in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Yesterday, news came from Qinghe County in Cangzhou that five county magistrates were killed, and none of their family members were spared. Dozens of business owners were also exterminated.
, the death toll reaches hundreds. My dear friends, what can you say?"
An old minister with a gray beard said: "As far as I know, this matter was caused by an account book, which recorded evidence of corruption and favoritism by the county governor Zhou Yulang. He was silenced. Zhou Yulang should be removed from his post and detained before sending an imperial envoy."
Thorough investigation!”
Another middle-aged minister with an extraordinary appearance said: "Your Majesty, what the Zuodu Yushi said is very false. Can a fourth-grade official be convicted just based on a fictitious account book? This matter is just a frame-up by the Netherworld cult.
This move caused a huge uproar, what’s the point of killing people and silencing them? If it were Master Zhang, he would do such a stupid thing?"
This minister was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, in charge of the promotion of officials, and Zhou Yulang was promoted by him. He was from the same faction. Zhou Yulang's annual filial piety has not been cut off, so how could he sit idly by and ignore it.
However, this Zuodu censor was a second-rank official on the same level as the six ministers, with great power and many party members.
The two forces soon started arguing. The emperor sat on the dragon throne and watched coldly.
At this time, Chen Tai, the censor of Youdu, said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the stability of Qinghe County should be the first priority at this time. There is no evidence of death in this case, so there is no need to investigate further. However, five county magistrates were killed, and more than a hundred people were killed.
The person was brutally silenced, and Zhou Yulang cannot escape the responsibility of neglect, so he might as well demote him to the county magistrate to see the consequences!"
Emperor Chu Ming raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said: "Chen Aiqing's words won my heart, so I demoted him to the magistrate of Ningyuan County in Yanzhou!"
Yanzhou is full of rugged mountains, with little cultivated land, and the people are poor. They are always worried about whether the Baiyue barbarians will come to kill them. Therefore, the folk customs here are tough, and people often appear as robbers. This Ningyuan County is where Yanzhou is very poor.
For a county, this is equivalent to exile.
Although there was no evidence, Emperor Chu Ming could not accuse Zhou Yulang of corruption and favoritism. But he acted ruthlessly and without scruples, so he definitely couldn't let it go, otherwise others would imitate him in the future. That's why he dealt with it this way.
…
Ling Feng stood up slowly and looked at the attribute table:
Canglang True Secret LV5,239/40000.
Nine-turn Dragon Elephant Golden Body LV4,203/15000.
Basic swordsmanship LV3, 3757/5000.
Xuan Ling Dan and Jing Yuan Dan are similar, they both increase proficiency by about 100 points, but Canglang Zhenjue's breath of water spirit energy can also increase proficiency by about 10 points every day.
Based on one hundred proficiency points a day, Ling Feng can break through to the fifth level of Dragon Elephant in just 13 days. However, it will take more than a month to break through the sixth level of Canglang True Art and enter the middle stage of Xiantian. As for Xuanling Pill and Jingyuan Pill
There are still more than 90 pieces left, so there is no shortage at the moment.
As for basic swordsmanship, you can easily increase your proficiency by 100 points in one day, and if you have a master to practice with, you can even double it. Half a month is enough to break through to the fourth level of proficiency. You can also get certain bonuses by then.
.
After half a month, his strength will improve again, and then he can kill Vajradhara Kujie.
When he came to the bedroom, Mingyu had just fallen asleep. Jiang Yuelong was also sleeping in the wing opposite.
So, after washing himself, he went to the stable.
When Bai Longju saw Ling Feng, he suddenly looked excited and shouted, "Hey, hey, hey." Of course, this is not because Ling Feng is domineering, but because the Dragon Spirit Grass can purify its blood and accelerate its growth.
Ling Feng exchanged 5 more Dragon Spirit Grasses and fed them to it, raising its loyalty to 98 points and its growth rate to 98/300, and then gave it a resounding name: Little White Dragon Aolie. If it were taken in one day
Five dragon spirit grasses can increase the growth rate by 25. It only takes 9 days to rise to one star. At this rate, one day one can transform into a real white dragon. Five dragon spirit grasses consume 400 points of chivalry.
At that time, Ling Feng's remaining chivalry value was 68600/209770, which was enough to refine magic weapons, and could also be exchanged for a master-level visualization technique. After all, the Dharma of Subduing the Dragon Arhat did not match the Canglang True Technique, making it difficult to use it.
The strongest power.
Early in the morning, Ling Feng had breakfast and practiced basic swordsmanship for more than an hour.
Then, Manager He from the auction house came to visit.
Ling Feng looked overjoyed, welcomed him into the room, and asked the maid to make tea. He asked, "Could it be that the dragon essence has been found?"
"If it is an ordinary fourth-level demon spirit, the headquarters will have it in stock. However, the dragon spirit is relatively rare, and it took a lot of effort for me to find it."
Shopkeeper He nodded, then took out a white round bead the size of an egg and said: "This soul bead contains the soul of a cold dragon. Because we also purchased it from other channels, the cost may be
It’s a bit more expensive, costing seven million taels in silver notes.”
The soul bead is a high-grade magic weapon (third level) used to seal the soul essence, and the essence is actually the soul of the monster that erases the memory. Because the three souls carrying the memory were destroyed, only seven souls were intact, so they are called essences.
Ling Feng said: "A low-grade magic weapon is worth about twenty million taels. Your seven million is more than one-third. It's too expensive!"
"Although this cold dragon essence is expensive, it is indeed powerful. If it is refined into a divine weapon, the power of the soul skill will be much more powerful. You will not suffer any loss."
Shopkeeper He explained. Of course, the actual price must be much cheaper, but in business, he must strive for the interests of Lingbao Pavilion.
Ling Feng smiled and said: "That's okay, but the price of my White Tiger Soul Sword will also increase by 2 million taels. Although the weapon spirit is sleeping, it is not difficult to restore it as long as you have the right materials. The price of 14 million taels is absolutely reasonable!
"
In fact, there will be people asking for 15 million or 16 million taels. If it is auctioned, the price will be increased by one or two million. The main reason is that magic weapons are too rare. Some are martial arts, half-step martial arts, and innate masters are willing to spend money to buy them.
Shopkeeper He looked embarrassed, then smiled bitterly and said: "So the deputy gang leader is waiting for me here."
However, he also knew that he had bullied Feng beforehand because he did not understand the market price, but he could only hide it for a while, so he was mentally prepared. After a moment of silence, he said: "Then the deal will be done at this price!"
Immediately, Ling Feng took the Han Jiao Essence and 7 million taels of silver notes, and handed the White Tiger Soul Sword to Shopkeeper He.
At the entrance of the courtyard, as soon as Shopkeeper He came out, a middle-aged man in blue shirt escorted him away. Although he only took a glance, Ling Feng knew that this middle-aged man in blue shirt was definitely an innate master.
Because the transaction amount is so large, there is also a magic weapon. If there is no expert escort, it can easily be robbed by an expert.
