Awaken Chapter 198

“Report!”

“There is a demonic disturbance in the Kingdom of Chen, please make a decision as soon as possible, Your Majesty.”

As a voice rang out, the tone was filled with anxiety.

Inside the Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Folders were presented and up.

The empress had not slept, today was the New Year’s Day, plus the country still had many things waiting for her to deal with, so naturally she did not have time to deal with them.

As Zhao Wan’er presented the folds, the Empress scanned them.

The Empress scanned it, and her brows could not help but frown slightly.

Xu Qingnian had slaughtered twelve cities, and each city had more than a million foreigners? The bones of the corpses were piled up like mountains, burning for seven days and seven nights, and the entire Chen Kingdom was hazy with ash, those were the bones of the corpses.

The smell of blood rushed to the sky and has not dissipated even now.

Such a scene naturally attracted countless demons to gather.

The essence of human blood is simply a great tonic for demons, and naturally, it attracted many demons to haunt.

The normal demonic beasts could still be suppressed by the Great Wei Army, but they could not resist some great demons, and these great demons were extremely clever, and did not directly fight the Great Wei Army hard, but absorbed the corpses that could not be disposed of in time, as well as the blood that rushed to the sky.

They absorbed the corpses and the blood that rushed into the sky. They incorporated them into their bodies and promoted their realms.

At first it was fine, at least there was the Great Wei Army to suppress it, but the later it got, more and more demons appeared, and they did not attack the Great Wei Army, knowing that they could not provoke it.

But it was not a good thing for them to absorb blood energy like this, and furthermore, it was clearly written in the Marquis of Guangyang’s memorial that some demons were compelling people and triggering new fights.

Although he had stopped it, the number of demons was increasing and they were worried that there would be a big chaos.

So the first thing they did was to submit a petition.

When such things happen, the normal way to deal with them is very simple: directly send a great Confucian of Heaven and Earth, plus ten other great Confucians, as well as the strongest of the Immortal Dao, to go over and hold the place for a little more than half a year, and then this catastrophe can be resolved.

But the problem is that at this moment in time, this kind of thing is happening.

It was a little different.

The ma*sacre of tens of millions of people in the Chen Kingdom, with their bodies and bones like a mountain and their blood rushing to the sky, had attracted the covetousness of the demons, which was not a big problem, but rather reasonable.

But the unreasonable part is, aren’t these demons afraid of death?

When something like this happens, some demons are bold, and this is understandable, but with so many demons gathering, there must be something fishy going on.

Especially at this juncture, daring to make such waves, it was obvious that the Zhu Sheng lineage was making demons again.

“They want to branch out from the great scholars who are not from the Vermilion Saint’s lineage?”

In an instant.

The Empress knew what the Vermilion Saint Lineage was trying to do, to detach all the great scholars who did not belong to the Vermilion Saint Lineage.

After all, when something like this happened in Chen, it was impossible for the Great Wei Dynasty to send the Vermilion Saint Lineage to suppress it, and it had just suppressed the Vermilion Saint Lineage, so they were allowed to go? Would they be willing to go?

If they did go, they would only be doing their job, so on balance, they would definitely send great scholars who were not from the Vermilion Saint lineage to suppress the demons.

This is not a clever tactic, and one can see it at a glance.

But from this incident, it was clear that the Vermilion Saint lineage was completely going to tear its face off.

There was a slight silence.

The Empress spoke up.

“Pa*s the order to ask the Tai Shang Immortal Sect and the Tai Cang Rune Sect to aid the Chen Kingdom and suppress the evil demons.”

“And then inform the Marquis of Ping Chaos of this matter.”

The empress gave the order.

Trying to detach the other great scholars of the Great Wei Palace of Literature? This was obviously impossible.

There was no way the Empress would let them do as they wished.

So she asked the Immortal Dao forces to help, as they would be coming in to Great Wei in the near future anyway, and letting them do so now would be a way to familiarise them in advance.

The Empress was not angry at the tactics of the Zhu Sheng lineage, the two had broken up themselves, and as long as they were not doing anything to Great Wei, they would not help.

And at the same time.

Great Wei’s Kyoto.

Inside the Peach Blossom Nunnery.

With the arrival of the New Year Festival, the Peach Blossom Nunnery is also incredibly busy, with many talented men gathering there, and even some beautiful women visiting the Nunnery to have a look around.

After all, this kind of place is also a gathering place for elegant people.

At this moment, Xu Qingnian unknowingly came to the Peach Blossom Nunnery.

Subconsciously, Xu Qingnian wanted to look for Luo Baiyi, as today was the New Year’s Day, it would be good to say hello to Luo Baiyi.

He walked into the Peach Blossom Nunnery.

They had heard that Xu Qingnian was having fun with the people in the West Street, so they guessed whether Xu Qingnian would come to the Peach Blossom Nunnery.

What they didn’t expect was that Xu Qingnian had really come.

It seemed that Miss Liu had been waiting for a long time and immediately came and led Xu Qingnian into the Peach Blossom Nunnery.

Xu Qingnian’s intention to come was also very straightforward; he only knew Luo Baiyi, so naturally he went straight to Luo Baiyi.

Not long afterwards.

Xu Qingnian went up to the attic.

Without waiting for Xu Qingnian to knock on the door, Luo Baiyi had already opened it.

However, in Luo Baiyi’s boudoir, the white gauze had already been changed to all green hills and daisies, which looked very eye catching and also looked very elegant.

“Baiyi has met Marquis Xu.”

When she saw Xu Qingnian, Luo Baiyi’s face inexplicably had a lot more smiles on it. She had an extremely beautiful face and a delicate figure, and although she was still dressed in white today, she had embellished a few accessories to match, giving her a different kind of beauty.

“White girl, welcome to the New Year.”

Xu Qingnian, with a smile on her face, walked into the room and said Ruyi.

“Marquis Xu Ruyi.”

“Marquis, enter quickly.”

The girl in white smiled faintly and invited Xu Qingnian inside.

Soon, Xu Qingnian walked into the middle, and some delicacies were already prepared on the table, which made Xu Qingnian a little curious.

“Does the girl in white have any other friends?”

Xu Qingnian asked calmly.

As soon as he said this, Luo Baiyi shook her head and said, “Marquis, don’t misunderstand, these things are prepared in advance.”

“The shopkeeper has people prepare the delicacies every day, saying that in case Marquis comes and has to wait for the back kitchen, he is afraid of delaying your time.”

Luo Baiyi explained.

She was inexplicably a little worried that Xu Qingnian might have other misunderstandings.

In fact, as a purser of the Peach Blossom Nunnery, Luo Baiyi was indeed one of those very unique people.

She had not received many guests since she had become famous, and even when she did, it was only when people were in the inner room, guests sat at the dining table, casually chatted for a few minutes, and that was pretty much the end of it.

She rarely even greets guests, simply because she is a bit indifferent by nature.

But when it came to Xu Qingnian, she was different. Ever since she had met Xu Qingnian a few times, in the days to come, whenever she heard something about Xu Qingnian, she would listen carefully.

Especially today, when such a big thing happened, if she hadn’t been unable to help in any way, she would have rushed over there.

For Xu Qingnian to be crowned marquis, Luo Baiyi was also extremely happy inside and felt happy for Xu Qingnian.

“Oh, don’t be anxious, Mister Xu was just asking casually.”

“Miss Baiyi, there’s no need for Marquis Marquis, just call me Duke as usual.”

“Calling him Marquis would be rusty.”

Xu Qingnian settled down and smiled faintly.

If someone who was not familiar with him called out to him once or twice, Xu Qingnian would not feel anything, but if he was familiar with him, he would not need to do so.

“En, Duke Xu, you sit down, and my slave will pour you wine.”

Luo Baiyi spoke, and then poured wine for Xu Qingnian personally.

If it were anyone else, Luo Baiyi would probably still call out to Marquis, distinguishing between the superior and the inferior, but when faced with Xu Qingnian, for some reason Luo Baiyi was willing to get a little closer instead.

“Good.”

Xu Qingnian had no problem at all with his drinking, he had drunk quite a lot in the middle of West Street, but was not too drunk, and after walking for a while, he was even more sober.

With his cup full of wine, Luo Baiyi picked up his own cup and sat down in his place beside Xu Qingnian, slowly raising it up and saying.

“Sir Xu, Baiyi congratulates you on being crowned a marquis today and becoming a great scholar of heaven and earth.”

Luo Baiyi was not very good at saying anything complimentary, and could only do so simply. He then frowned slightly and finished the wine in his cup in one gulp.

And then closed her eyes, her beautiful brows furrowed even more, as if she didn’t like drinking too much.

Seeing this scene, Xu Qingnian smiled faintly and drank the wine down before saying.

“Miss Baiyi, if you don’t know how to drink, don’t force yourself, it’s harmless.”

Xu Qingnian spoke up, persuading Luo Baiyi that there was no need to drink.

“It’s fine, it’s fine, although Baiyi doesn’t like to drink much, she still has some drinking capacity, so she can accompany you for a few drinks.”

Luo Baiyi said so, afraid of spoiling Xu Qingnian’s mood, and tried to pour himself another full gla*s.

“No harm, you’re welcome.”

Looking at this slightly feisty look on Luo Baiyi’s face, Xu Qingnian inexplicably found it a little cute, but he did not intend to get the girl in white drunk and then attempt to have something happen.

That was not what a gentleman would do.

Picking up the wine jug, Xu Qingnian only filled a gla*s for himself and insisted on not letting the latter touch it.

Seeing Xu Qingnian’s behaviour, Luo Baiyi was somewhat touched in her heart, after all, she did not like drinking much, and she might get a little drunk after a few more gla*ses.

At this moment, Luo Baiyi’s face was already a bit scarlet, looking even more lovely and pretty all of a sudden.

Xu Qingnian drank alone, he came to the peach blossom nunnery, just to find a place of peace and quiet, it is also considered to steal half a day of leisure, put all the worries aside first, it is considered to clean up a bit.

The disengagement of the Palace of Letters is like a sword hanging over the Great Wei Dynasty.

If it is not handled properly, it will be a big problem, and even if one is capable, one will not be able to save the day.

It would be impossible to say that he was not in a heavy mood.

But what Xu Qingnian understood even more was that no matter what, he absolutely could not give up.

The court has a lot of things to do with the government, so she’s a herdswoman who can’t ask about it.

So Luo Baiyi thought about it, then picked up her chopsticks, picked up a bit of delicacy and fed it to Xu Qingnian.

Seeing the delicacies handed over to him, Xu Qingnian was slightly surprised, he glanced at Luo Baiyi, whose eyes dodged a little, and the scarlet on his face became even more intense.

For a moment, Xu Qingnian could not help but smile, he wanted to say that there was no need to do so, but was afraid that if he said so, the girl in white would feel that he had not done a good job.

So she ate the food that Luo Baiyi fed into her mouth.

Watching Xu Qingnian eat, Luo Baiyi’s heart breathed a long sigh of relief and at the same time the tension inside was half gone.

Feeding someone, which was a very intimate gesture, was something she had heard from some of the other purveyors of the Peach Blossom Nunnery, that if you were with a guest you liked, you could do this, and it was a way to bring you closer together.

It was really just a little flirtation.

Especially when you are alone in a room.

After a while, Xu Qingnian had eaten something and also drank a pot of wine, when Luo Baiyi suddenly spoke.

“Lord Xu, do you need some rest? My slave knows some combing techniques to help you rest.”

Luo Baiyi suddenly spoke up and asked Xu Qingnian if he wanted to comb his tendons for a while.

“That’s fine.”

Xu Qingnian looked at Luo Baiyi and was a little curious, wondering what was wrong with Luo Baiyi and why she was being extra active today.

But combing and combing the tendons is also good, anyway, the main purpose of coming here, is also to relax a bit.

“Then …… Please go and lie down on the bed, Your Excellency, while my slave goes to prepare some things.”

Luo Baiyi spoke a little nervously and said.

“Prepare some things?”

Going to lie on the bed, Xu Qingnian could understand, but what did it mean to prepare something?

Zhang Ru would not be so far ahead of his time, right? To teach that set to these herdsmen?

With some curiosity, Xu Qingnian went to the bed, and to be honest, Xu Qingnian definitely did not have any crooked thoughts, but was just full of curiosity.

The bed was soft and not too small, and not long after lying down, the girl in white was holding a few bottles and jars.

Good boy, this is really the stuff, isn’t it?

Essential oils for the back?

Outrageous.

Soon Luo Baiyi set aside the special fragrant oil in the bottles and jars, then tied her hair up and poured it into her hands.

It must be said that after tying up her hair, Luo Baiyi was a little more beautiful, showing more of her girlish beauty.

“Sir Xu, my slave will first relax your head.”

Luo Baiyi spoke, her voice not too loud, and then carefully climbed onto the bed, looking extraordinarily nervous, but soon came to Xu Qingnian’s pillow, and then poured the special fragrant oil, into her hands, followed by rubbing Xu Qingnian’s temples.

The technique wasn’t too bad, but it wasn’t good either.

It was just that having such a beautiful woman to relax one’s muscles and bones made one feel much happier inexplicably.

It has to be said that face value is better than everything else.

Smelling the faint fragrance and Luo Baiyi’s delicate fingers, kneading his head, made one inexplicably relax.

The only thing was that Luo Baiyi’s hands were very cold.

“Miss Baiyi, why are your fingers so cold and chilly.”

Xu Qingnian was a little curious.

“My slave grew up with poor health, so her body is rather cold.”

Luo Baiyi replied.

“Oh, then next time I’ll prepare some tonic for you, and you can come and tune up your body.”

“A body that’s too cold is a bad blood supply, you need to tonic it, it’s not good to give birth to a child in the future.”

Xu Qingnian was serious about her science knowledge.

However, after these words were uttered, they caused Luo Baiyi’s face to blush, after all, this kind of topic was still extremely large in scale for her.

However, to Xu Qingnian, this topic was nothing.

In a short while, under Luo Baiyi’s relaxation, Xu Qingnian did feel a little sleepy.

Little by little, time pa*sed.

Towards the end.

Xu Qingnian fell asleep peacefully, and Luo Baiyi stopped stretching, only her beautiful eyes, however, kept falling on Xu Qingnian.

And then, Luo Baiyi carefully lay down on the side, looking sideways, quietly watching Xu Qingnian.

A thought also inexplicably surfaced in her heart.

Could this be considered sleeping together?

Little by little, time pa*sed.

That was it.

After three hours had pa*sed.

The capital of the Great Wei.

Inside the Hall of the Nurtured Heart.

The figure of a eunuch slowly approached.

“Enlighten Your Majesty.”

“Marquis Xu is staying overnight at the Peach Blossom Nunnery and has sent someone to wait inside the nunnery.”

The eunuch came and then knelt on the ground to inform the empress of this matter.

“Staying overnight?”

At this moment, the two women in the hall were slightly surprised, the empress looked very normal, though the surprise in Zhao Wan’er’s eyes could not be concealed.

“Back to Your Majesty, it is said that Marquis Xu drank a lot of wine yesterday and went to the Peach Blossom Nunnery, looking for the girl in white to drink, and the two of them stayed out all night, and many people within the Peach Blossom Nunnery know about this.”

“We were afraid of disturbing Marquis Xu, so we did not go up to disturb him.”

The eunuch replied thus.

At this moment, the empress could not help but speak.

“The girl in white, who is that again?”

As soon as this was said, the latter immediately replied.

“In reply to Your Majesty, the girl in white is the head girl of the Peach Blossom Nunnery, and is said to have a charming appearance, and is known as the most beautiful woman in Kyoto, and is also a clean herald.”

So he said, unaware of the repercussions of that statement.

“The most beautiful woman in Kyoto?”

Upon hearing those words, something was inexplicably different in the empress’s mind, she couldn’t say what she felt, but inexplicably it just didn’t look too happy.

“Are you sure you’re staying overnight?”

The empress continued to ask, the latter nodded and said, “Back to your majesty, stay overnight.”

At this moment, the empress was silent, while Zhao Wan’er could not help but say somewhat.

“I didn’t expect Marquis Xu to be a flirt too, to make the most beautiful woman in Kyoto like this, but when it comes down to it, this most beautiful woman in Kyoto should also be Your Majesty.”

She spoke, inexplicably a little jealous.

But when she said this, the empress swept Zhao Wan’er a glance, and the latter instantly said with some trepidation.

“Please forgive me, Your Majesty, it was the slave servant who said the wrong thing.”

Zhao Wan’er immediately understood that she had said the wrong thing, who was the Empress? The Emperor of Great Wei, who was Luo Baiyi? Who was Luo Baiyi? A herdswoman of the Peach Blossom Nunnery.

To compare the two of them was a bit of an insult to His Majesty.

“All right, let the people leave, don’t disturb the pleasure of the Marquis of Ping Chaos, there is no need to talk to the Marquis of Ping Chaos about this matter.”

The empress spoke up and told the latter to remove the people.

The eunuch did not know what was going on, but just kowtowed and answered.

However, Zhao Wan’er, who was a woman, was keenly aware that the words somehow seemed to ……. not too happy about it.

Especially the phrase, do not disturb the pleasure of the marquis of ping chaos, before the state affairs, where there is any personal pleasure or not?

Feel like a little ……. The actual fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than just a few of these.

 

 

In a short time, the eunuch left.

The empress looked at Zhao Wan’er and said.

“You go and issue a secret edict to have the gossip controlled, the marquis of a country, if it is rumoured that he is staying with a purser, it will have some impact after all.”

“The Zhu Sheng lineage is also keeping an eye on Marquis Xu, although this kind of thing won’t have any impact, there is still some trouble after all, this is an eventful time now, don’t cause unwarranted wrongdoing.”

The empress said in a calm tone, asking Zhao Wan’er to deal with this matter.

Once this was said, Zhao Wan’er immediately nodded and said, “Slave servant obeys the order.”

After saying these words, Zhao Wan’er slowly walked out of the hall.

At that moment, the hall was empty.

Finally, the empress did not maintain this calm and cool expression anymore, but frowned.

“A Kyoto stunner? Staying overnight?”

“So relaxed after just becoming a marquis.”

“Sure enough, men are all philandering.”

The empress frowned, her heart inexplicably a little unhappy, although she didn’t know why she was so unhappy, but unhappy was unhappy.

It was just that what made her most unhappy was that she still had little authority to control Xu Qingnian, after all, male love was a human condition, the other party had some identity problems, but it was not a big problem.

It is just that she is very unhappy, even more unhappy than yesterday when she heard that there was a demonic rebellion in the country of Chen.

Shin time.

Xu Qingnian woke up.

He was alone on the bed, and after sweeping the bed, it was relatively clean and tidy, but it didn’t seem to be what he thought.

At that moment, the girl in white was carrying a bowl of soup and came in.

After seeing Xu Qingnian wake up, the white-clothed girl spoke at once.

“Xu Gongzi, this is the soup prepared for you to wake up, will you drink it now?”

Luo Baiyi inquired.

“What is the hour now?”

Xu Qingnian opened his mouth and asked.

“It’s already two minutes past the hour of Shen.”

The girl in white took a glance at the sky and then replied.

“Two quarters past the申时二刻?”

Xu Qingnian frowned slightly before getting up and drinking the sober soup in one gulp.

“Miss White-clothed, I’m sorry for your trouble yesterday.”

“Xu Mou has some business to attend to, so I’ll leave first and come back to catch up with you in a few days.”

Xu Qingnian spoke out.

Although they had not spent much time together, this feeling made Xu Qingnian relax and forget many of her worries.

It was just that this kind of time was still short, and now that he had also stolen half a day of floating life, he should deal with various things next.

“Take care, Sir Xu.”

“Baiyi is waiting for you.”

Knowing that Xu Qingnian was busy with his official duties, Luo Baiyi did not stay much, but responded extremely well, and then watched Xu Qingnian leave.

Teng Teng Teng.

Walking all the way down, she soon met Miss Liu, and the entire Peach Blossom Nunnery knew about Xu Qingnian’s stay overnight.

Whether or not anything had happened was not something they were qualified to be curious about, plus there had also been a message sent that the matter must not be mentioned.

So Miss Liu did not say anything, but took Xu Qingnian away from the Peach Blossom Nunnery.

“Miss Liu, inform my brother for a while, ransom Miss Baiyi and return her to freedom.”

Xu Qingnian spoke indifferently, and with just one sentence, she made the latter understand what was going on.

“I understand, please rest a*sured, Marquis, from now on, Miss Baiyi is free.”

Miss Liu replied quickly, while in her gaze, she looked very envious.

As for what Xu Qingnian said, she naturally would not question anything, not to mention that Xu Qingnian was Zhang Ruhui’s sworn brother, and even if he wasn’t, the words spoken by the titled Marquis of Great Wei Ping Chaos still carried weight.

Soon.

Xu Qingnian walked out of the Peach Blossom Nunnery, his pace was not slow as he walked towards the Marquis of Pingcha’s residence.

Within a short time, Xu Qingnian arrived inside the Marquis’ residence.

There were twelve capital soldiers outside the marquis’s residence, all of them seventh rank martial artists. To know that to guard Xu Qingnian’s residence, the eight gates of capital soldiers almost fought over this, basically most of the capital soldiers were willing to come and guard Xu Qingnian’s door.

In the end, twelve elites were selected after various lotteries and competitions.

After seeing Xu Qingnian again, each of these twelve capital soldiers were excited and said.

“We have met the Marquis.”

Xu Qingnian nodded and then headed inside, looking somewhat hurried.

Enter the marquis’s residence.

Yang Hu and the others were in the middle of a lecture, and as soon as they saw Xu Qingnian coming, they immediately ran up to him and said.

“Marquis, you’re back.”

Yang Hu came with a smile on his face, he was now considered to be eight-faced and powerful.

But Xu Qingnian didn’t pay any attention to Yang Hu, and went straight to his own residence.

Seeing how anxious Xu Qingnian was, Yang Hu also had the sense not to follow him, but looked at Xu Qingnian’s back and muttered.

“Worthy of being the Marquis of Great Wei.”

The next moment.

Xu Qingnian arrived at his quarters.

The marquis’s residence was enormous, and Xu Qingnian had his own private mansion, so he walked into the room.

Xu Qingnian had purposely ordered someone to create a dao enlightenment pavilion, and it was very quiet inside, except for some small things placed there, and two futons, the rest was nothing.

“Senior Dan God, has the dan been refined yet?”

Entering inside the Dao Comprehension Pavilion, Xu Qingnian spoke directly.

The Sixth Grade Realm-Breaking Dan had been refined before, and the Fifth Grade Realm-Breaking Dan, counting the time, was almost ready.

“It’s already been refined.”

At this moment, the Dan God Ancient Scripture hidden within Xu Qingnian’s sleeves flew out, and soon four pills appeared.

Sixth Grade Realm Breaking Pill.

The Fifth Grade Realm-Breaking Pill.

As well as a sixth-grade and fifth-grade Foundation Building Pill.

The pills were suspended in the air, and Xu Qingnian directly took the Sixth Grade Realm Breaking Pill and swallowed it on the spot.

Nowadays, Confucianism was already of the fourth grade.

Although he would not encounter any danger in Great Wei’s Kyoto, it was time to upgrade his martial dao.

The seventh grade of Martial Dao is the Blood Origin realm.

The sixth grade of Martial Dao is the Disembodied Realm, where the body is transformed and the human body is metamorphosed, invoking some visions.

The fifth grade is the Avatar realm, the Martial Dao Avatar. At this realm, instead of true qi in the body, it is Martial Dao true qi that can form the shadow of a dragon or tiger and can blast a restaurant to pieces with a single punch.

The fourth rank is the king realm, a martial dao king, and is so strong that it is like a battle of siege, if the enemy army is not defending, as well as not sending their fourth rank martial artists to interfere.

A city gate of forty or fifty metres would only take a little more than half an hour to blow up.

And at the third rank, there is another astounding change.

Martial Dao, Immortal Dao, Buddhist Dao, Demonic Dao, Confucian Dao.

All systems, from the tenth to the seventh grade, are a stage, and at the seventh grade is a watershed.

Sixth grade to fourth grade was another stage, while third grade to first grade was also an unparalleled watershed.

Today, Xu Qingnian planned to break through directly to the fifth grade, and then suppress the devil seeds of foreign arts within his body.

Immediately afterwards, he would try his best to gather the materials for the Fourth Grade Realm Breaking Pill as well as the Third Grade Realm Breaking Pill. Once he stepped into the Third Grade Confucian Dao and his Martial Dao realm was also the Third Grade, he would basically be able to walk around this world.

I dare not say that I am invincible, but at the very least, a Half-Saint, plus a Third Grade Grand Master of the Martial Dao.

How many people would dare to provoke themselves?

Demons would not dare at all, and to kill a Third Grade Grand Master, one would have to be a Second Grade Martial Emperor, a First Grade would be impossible, and anyone who dared to send a First Grade martial artist would be facing a First Grade war.

And in the whole world, there are not many second-grade martial artists, and all of them are big figures of various powers, what do they have nothing better to do than to kill themselves?

The only enemy one currently has is the Vermilion Saint lineage, and it’s not like one is an enemy of the world.

Of course, all of the above conjectures were based on the fact that one was not yet aware of how strong the Half-Saints really were.

Boom!

At this moment, when Xu Qingnian swallowed the Sixth Grade Realm Breaking Pill, his body immediately exploded like thunder.

Every single cell seemed to be metamorphosing, and a terrifying blood qi filled the entire chamber.

The muscles and bones, the body, the five organs and six bowels, all metamorphosed at this moment.

The whole process was extremely painful, for it was the Deflowering Realm, the meaning of metamorphosis, the regrowth of the internal organs and the reshaping of the tendons and bones, a process that was desperate.

But after Xu Qingnian swallowed the Foundation Establishment Pill all together, he received tremendous relief.

It just still caused discomfort.

Little by little, time pa*sed.

A full three days and three nights later.

Boom!

Along with the entire Marquis of Ping Chaos shaking a little, Xu Qingnian also officially stepped into the sixth rank of the Martial Dao.

But there was no hesitation.

Xu Qingnian directly swallowed the Fifth Grade Realm-Breaking Pill, including the Foundation Building Pill.

As the Fifth Grade Realm-Breaking Pill was swallowed.

At this moment, Xu Qingnian’s physical body, blossomed with a golden glow, this was the Great Sun Sacred Body, and every strand of golden glow was a metamorphosis of blood qi.

The true qi in the dantian was also metamorphosing.

Xu Qingnian’s entire aura was also rising, as if the aura he had before when he was of the seventh rank was like that of a tiger, but now Xu Qingnian was like a savage and fierce tiger.

To break through two realms in one breath and metamorphose directly from the seventh rank to the fifth rank was almost impossible.

A fifth-grade martial artist, at this realm alone, would be at least a grand commander among the Great Wei, a grand commander among the eight gates of the capital army.

A fourth-ranked martial artist is eligible for marquisship, but only if he or she has done something for the Great Wei, not too much, as long as he or she can get by on the surface, and then be nominated by the state duke and the marquis.

The only thing is that this kind of marquis is not hereditary for reasons of strength, like Xu Qingnian, whose status is naturally higher.

In the blink of an eye.

Seven days pa*sed.

It took Xu Qingnian seven days to reach the fifth rank from the sixth rank.

In reality, it did not take so long, mainly because of the Foundation Establishment Pill, Xu Qingnian did not simply make a breakthrough, but a perfect breakthrough.

Each of his realms, from the tenth grade onwards, were in the most perfect state.

Everything was attributed to the Foundation Building Pill.

Realm advancement is more or less flawed, and these flaws, which have no effect for a short period of time, can be magnified infinitely the later these flaws are, especially when advancing to the third grade.

If there are too many flaws in the front, you will never be able to break through to the third rank in your lifetime.

Or even say that you don’t have any flaws, you may not be able to break through to the third rank in this lifetime, let alone with so many flaws.

Similar to Great Wei’s imperial relatives, take the Huai Ping County King kind for comparison, growing up is bathing in beast blood, eating medicinal food, drinking spiritual springs, every detail is done extremely well.

Whereas Xu Qingnian’s kind, where could he possibly have been treated so well.

So for these seven days, Xu Qingnian spent most of her time perfecting the details of her martial dao, so that she would not encounter any problems later.

And at the same time.

In the second year of Wuchang, on the tenth day of the first month.

Within the bustling capital of Great Wei, a figure appeared.

It was an old man.

Dressed in a coarse linen, with a head full of white hair, he looked a little dusty.

The old man had been in the city for seven or eight days, roaming the city, staying in the cheapest taverns, listening to plays that cost nothing, and eating and drinking very cheap things.

Not many people were concerned about the sudden appearance of the old man, after all, there were too many people coming and going every day in the capital of Great Wei.

And at this time, the singing was over and many of the spectators went back to eat.

Along the way, the people were also each talking about today’s opera.

“The enthronement and pacification of chaos in the Pear Fragrance Garden today’s rehearsal is really beautiful… Tsk, Marquis Xu is really majestic.”

“Yes, yes, but I heard from a friend of mine that the situation was a million times more exciting than this play… Marquis Xu cut down the Confucian position of a million readers, just think how powerful that must have been.”

“Yes, to behead a great scholar of heaven and earth directly, in ancient and modern times, only Marquis Xu would dare to act like that.”

People were delighted with the drama of the day.

Since the end of the enthronement ceremony, a folk theatre group had the whim to stage a play about Xu Qingnian’s deeds.

At the beginning, the play was about the fiasco at the Ministry of Justice and the beheading of the Sheriff King.

It was thought that it would be quite good, but to my surprise, it simply exploded, and the theatres everywhere were overcrowded every day.

Later, all the theatres up and down Kyoto invited many literary figures and even students from the Shouren Academy to personally choreograph the content of the plays.

Taking out some of the more acute political conflicts and retaining the core of the situation, every play, was a great success.

Now all over Kyoto, which theatre houses are not envious? They are now scrambling to make up their plays and start putting them on.

So much so that other county theatres have taken it up in style and learnt from it.

The business of the opera company was ten times hotter than before, and the owner of the opera house made a lot of money, but of course a large part of it had to go to the Shouren Academy, because after all, the opera involved Xu Qingnian.

After the Shouren Academy received the silver, it was also subsidised by the Great Wei Literary Gazette, allowing the people to buy the newspaper more cheaply.

This earned them a good reputation and allowed them to sell more copies of the newspaper.

And now.

In the crowd, the old man in coarse sackcloth, after hearing the various praises of the people, had a curious look in his eyes.

He had been back in the capital for ten days, and during the time he had been touring the folklore, he had heard the name Xu Qingnian almost all the time.

In these ten days, he had finally learnt who Xu Qingnian was and what he had done.

But the more he knew, the more curious he became about this Xu Qingnian.

Thinking of this, the old man could not help but smile, and then disappeared into the shadows of people.

Yes.

It was a straightforward disappearance.

Someone saw it and rubbed their eyes, but did not make a sound, subconsciously thinking that they had lost their eyesight.

And at that moment.

Inside the Great Wei Imperial Palace.

In the Hall of the Nurtured Heart.

A secret letter also appeared in the Empress’ hands now.

After a while, the empress could not help but reveal a smile.

The First Grade of Great Wei had returned.

Yes, the First Grade Martial Artist had returned.

The content of the secret letter was simple: this First Grade Martial Artist had returned to Great Wei, but just wanted to see how the Great Wei rivers and mountains were doing, so he did not plan to meet for the time being, and would come to see himself in a few days.

This time it was an early return so that he could do something for Great Wei.

The content was very simple, but the simple content represented a message that Great Wei had a helper this time.

In the entire Great Wei Dynasty, there were two First Cla*s.

When they return, they will immediately go back to recuperate and get rid of the devilish nature in their bodies, while the other one may not have completely gotten rid of it and will have to go to the devilish domain to suppress it.

Therefore, it may seem that there are two First Grade Martial Artists in Great Wei, but in reality, when there is no real desperate situation, these two First Grade Martial Artists cannot intervene in anything at all.

But this time, with the perennial suppression, the Devil’s Domain has settled down and these two First Grade Martial Artists can finally spare some time to help Great Wei solve some troubles.

What does a First Grade Martial Artist mean?

The vast majority of people did not know, but the Empress knew.

The First Grade represented the highest.

It was a truly invincible existence.

Once they struck, it would be a devastating blow.

If conditions permitted, a First Grade martial artist could, in just one hour, wash the Great Wei va*sal states back and forth.

They would fight until the entire foreign nation was wiped out, and a First Grade martial artist would not even hurt a hair.

This was the terror of the First Grade.

Now that the First Grade had returned, it was a great thing for Great Wei, a truly great joy.

It could solve too many, too many troubles.

For example, the current demon turmoil in the Chen Kingdom is now no longer a problem either.

In the past ten days, the Tai Shang Immortal Sect and the Tai Cang Rune Sect had sent people there, plus three great scholars, but the effect was not obvious.

The demons that had gathered in the Chen Kingdom were growing in number, and each one was very sinister, with the enemy advancing and me retreating, and now not only affecting the Chen Kingdom, but dozens of surrounding countries as well.

If a great Confucian of Heaven and Earth were sent over, perhaps it could be pacified within a month.

But because of the Zhu Sheng lineage, Great Wei could not send a Great Confucian of Heaven and Earth there.

So this matter would take at least three or four months to resolve.

Taking three or four months to settle it would inevitably be met with questions from all sides, as well as accusations from the world’s scholars.

After all, the city was ma*sacred by Xu Qingnian, causing such great trouble, and it took three or four months to suppress it, so how could he, the emperor, not be impeached?

Now, the Great Wei One Piece had returned.

So, there would soon be an end to this matter.

What made the empress curious was, where was this First Cla*s, wandering around?

Meanwhile.

The Marquis of Ping Chaos’ residence.

Xu Qingnian had already completed the fifth grade.

He took a deep breath, like a whale sucking, and rolled his essence into his body.

And then shaking his body, a terrifying force spread out and cracks were everywhere on the walls.

Clenching his fist, he transformed into a blazing sun-like ma*s, with a piercing golden aura, and even coalesced a golden crow shadow.

This was the power of the fifth grade.

Xu Qingnian had an indescribable illusion, he felt that he could now fly to the sky and vanish to the ground, and could do anything.

But this was only an illusion.

The illusion of being raised too much in one breath.

But in these seven days, Xu Qingnian had also realised a problem.

That was, although he was indeed raising his martial dao realm.

But he didn’t have much martial combat experience, nor had he seriously learnt any martial divine abilities, and the only thing he had learnt was the Golden Crow Dragon Fighting Technique.

This does not work.

I had perfect martial strength, but no martial experience to complement it.

In the same realm situation, one is completely a sandbag, the kind that gets hammered in all sorts of ways.

“It’s just a pity that there isn’t a senior to guide me.”

“Originally, my two elder brothers Chaoge and Broken Evil could have given me a few pointers, but they are now asleep, and they can only recover when I step into the Saint realm.”

“How good would it be if there was a martial powerhouse who could instruct me a little?”

Xu Qingnian lamented in his heart, but that was good to think about, there really weren’t many people within the capital of Great Wei who could teach themselves, to be honest.

A few of the state princes were qualified to teach themselves, but now that Great Wei was in the midst of an eventful year, it was impossible to delay the state princes.

So just think about it.

It was also at this moment that a voice sounded outside.

“Marquis, Lord Gu asks you to go to the Ministry of Officials, saying that there is an important matter.”

As the voice rang out.

Xu Qingnian pondered a little and quickly guessed what it was about.

It should be that the results of the food production had come out.

Thinking of this.

Xu Qingnian did not nag, and directly got up and walked towards the outside.

After walking out of the marquis’s residence, Xu Qingnian went straight to the Household Department.

However, at this moment, when Xu Qingnian left, suddenly, an indescribable feeling appeared.

The demon seed within her body was afraid.

Yes.

The devil seed within his own body was inexplicably afraid.

In a flash.

Xu Qingnian stopped walking.

And his gaze, instantly, landed on a sepia-clad old man.
