From the time Chen Yuan advanced to the Qi Gathering realm, it has only been a little over half a month. If people were to know such a terrifying speed, one can only imagine the shock they would experience.

Generally, it takes martial artists several years to cultivate to the peak of the Qi Gathering realm, and this is even with the assistance of elixirs.

And Chen Yuan was able to achieve this entirely through his own efforts!

Yes, after all, the Phoenix Marrow Qi was also obtained by him, which is very reasonable to consider as his own effort.

This was a strand of innate spiritual Qi that Shen Yanshu had nurtured for more than twenty years. Chen Yuan wasn't particularly surprised to achieve this, because it was to be expected.

The Phoenix Marrow Qi could make one's cultivation skyrocket, clear one's mind, and cleanse the marrow and refine the body...

Moreover, during the process of transforming the Phoenix Marrow Qi, Chen Yuan could feel that the power composition of the Phoenix Marrow Qi was more than just that. Besides pure power, there were also some other mystical elements hidden within his body,

Waiting for Chen Yuan to discover and explore them in the future...

This time, the harvest was huge!

Peak of the Qi Gathering realm, and the state was extremely stable, without a trace of superficiality.

Clenching his fist, Chen Yuan looked down and felt the rolling power coming from within his body, very satisfied. Although the peak of the Qi Gathering realm was not considered top-tier in Nanling Prefecture,

It could definitely be considered middle-tier or even upper-tier.

Because Chen Yuan's strength could not be simply divided by realms. His unparalleled physical body, sharp swordsmanship, and not-weak cultivation all added up, ordinary Condensing Astral martial artists were simply not his opponents.

Chen Yuan even wanted to test the waters with Celestial Dipper martial artists.

After the joy of his skyrocketing cultivation subsided, Chen Yuan pondered. His next goal was Condensing Astral, but right now, there were really no Yin Astral places for him to choose from.

With his merit points, it was simply not enough to exchange for a place. Even with Tao Qingyuan's help, he could only get a relatively lower-grade Yin Astral place.

This was not the choice he wanted.

If he was going to do it, he wanted the best.

And the only thing that could give him the best was the guidance of opportunity....

What he needed most now was Astral Qi. Chen Yuan felt that if there were no accidents, his next guidance should be towards a certain Yin Astral place, but he didn't know where it was.

So he still needed destiny!

Although the Destiny Altar had not directly given him any rewards, the most suitable opportunities had already made him extremely happy, like the Phoenix Marrow Qi and the Tai Xuan Scripture,

If there were no guidance, how could Chen Yuan possibly know about their existence?

But for now, the most important thing was when the Child of Destiny would arrive!

Chen Yuan didn't want to delay too long, but of course, he wasn't too flustered either, because he could judge a very important pattern from unexpected situations.

That is...

People with destiny will definitely come into contact with him due to various things, either actively or passively...

Perhaps, this is a connection between the Children of Destiny.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Chen Yuan stayed for a while before getting up, casually put on a piece of clothing, took the long saber placed on the bedside, and walked to the small courtyard to practice his saber techniques.

The sharp saber light was repeatedly wielded by him like a machine.

Once,

Twice,

Three times,

A hundred times,

A thousand times......

After wielding it a full thousand times, Chen Yuan stopped his movements, and then began to practice the Six Harmonies Saber Technique, Transforming Force, and the Wind Riding Body Technique that Tao Qingyuan had taught him...

Daily saber practice was an unshakeable habit of Chen Yuan's. Since he had developed this habit, the power and speed of Chen Yuan's drawing and slashing had increased several times.

Although these things were basic, they could not be ignored.

He did not have top-tier saber techniques for him to practice, but diligently practicing the saber every day was also an important method in his attacks, and it would also lay the foundation for him to practice saber techniques in the future.

The Six Harmonies Saber Technique was learned by Chen Yuan from Zhao Nanshan. He rarely used it, and its power was not satisfactory. However, Transforming Force and the Wind Riding Body Technique aroused great interest in him.

Transforming Force was a method of operating fist energy. As long as Chen Yuan brushed or touched someone, it would be enough to shatter their internal organs in an instant. It could be considered a means of sneak attacking and harming people.

The Wind Riding Body Technique was related to Chen Yuan's explosive power and ability to escape.

He had been practicing for several days, but so far he had only just entered the basics, and could only increase his body speed slightly.

It had to be said that Chen Yuan's cultivation talent was somewhat ordinary, but his comprehension was surprisingly good. Chen Yuan felt that he was either a genius, or his comprehension had greatly increased after the fusion of two souls.

Originally, Chen Yuan planned to cultivate for a day, putting all his time into cultivation. Anyway, the patrolling envoy did not need to report to the patrolling division every day, he just needed to wait for the task to come down.

But the final result was not satisfactory. He cultivated for about half a day before being disturbed.

The person who came was Yue Shan, who was ordered by Tao Qingyuan to find him.

He immediately stopped his cultivation and chose to go to the patrolling division immediately.

Chen Yuan felt that either a new task had come down, or it was because of the death of Bei Le.

And he had just completed the task not long ago, so this possibility was unlikely.

Only the death of Bei Le had the greatest probability.

In fact, he was not wrong. The first question Tao Qingyuan asked when he saw him was about the death of Bei Le.

"The famous Chen Qingtian has arrived..."

This was Tao Qingyuan's first sentence, with a hint of joking in his words, and also some subtle warning.

And the 'Chen Qingtian' he mentioned was the new title that some people in Nanling City gave him after he killed Bei Le.

After all, Bei Le's notorious reputation was too great. Chen Yuan killed him, so he was a good official in the eyes of some people.

"My lord is joking. These are just some nonsense from the people in the city." Chen Yuan quickly bowed and apologized.

"Hmph, this official doesn't think it's nonsense. This official has also heard a little about this Bei Le. Relying on Bei Haisheng's power, he oppresses the people and commits all kinds of evil. You killed him in public, so aren't you Chen Qingtian?"

Tao Qingyuan snorted lightly.

Chen Yuan lowered his head and stared at the ground without replying. He still didn't understand Tao Qingyuan's purpose, whether it was to praise him or warn him.

"Tell me, why did you kill Bei Le? Don't use the excuse that he took the initiative to attack you. This official has already read the files. You were clearly going for him,

As for those two melon-selling commoners, they were just your cover."

Chen Yuan's actions this time were very crude. Although it was difficult to find any fault, anyone with eyes could see what Chen Yuan's purpose was.

He simply and decisively killed Bei Le, and was even waiting for Bei Haisheng to come...

Chen Yuan thought for a moment, and said with a righteous expression:

"That's right, this subordinate was going for him. This dog thing forcibly seizes women, commits all kinds of evil, and harms the people. As a patrolling envoy, how can I not stand up for the people?"

"My lord, the foundation of the Great Jin Dynasty is these seemingly insignificant people. The imperial court is like a boat, and the people are like water. It can carry the boat, and it can also overturn it!"

"When I was in Ping'an County, my family was always bullied by these bastards, so I once secretly vowed to never coexist with evil!"

"My ability is limited, and I can't manage things that are too far away, but I can still manage the things in front of me. When I passed by Ting Yu Xuan, I..."

Chen Yuan's speech was very serious and also very inflammatory. In a few words, he shaped himself into an official who was incorruptible and willing to stand up for the common people.

After listening, Tao Qingyuan was expressionless, and thought to himself:

"Is this me warning him not to cause trouble, or is he lecturing me?"

How did it feel a little upside down?

The imperial court is like a boat, and the people are like water. It can carry the boat, and it can also overturn it!

This sentence was similar in meaning to what the state governor said before. Could it be that he really misunderstood Chen Yuan?

No...

Tao Qingyuan instantly abandoned his thoughts.

It could be seen from Chen Yuan's file evaluation that this person was a guy with a strong purpose, and even valued interests extremely. He was definitely not what he appeared to be.

This was just his disguise.

But it had to be said that he was really good at disguising this appearance.

Ordinary people who didn't know the truth would really think he was such a person.

His attack on Bei Le this time was definitely purposeful, but he just didn't know it yet.

Tao Qingyuan did not expose Chen Yuan, but just said:

"Your starting point is good, but be careful not to be too reckless. Bei Haisheng's strength is not something you can compare to. What if he attacked you yesterday, how would you resist?"

"My lord is right."

Chen Yuan did not refute, but just nodded in agreement.

"Also, do you know that when you and Bei Haisheng had a conflict, Shi Yunlong, the leader of the Chang Le Gang, was watching not far away? Even I would not have been able to rescue you in time."

Tao Qingyuan warned.

"Thank you, my lord."

His words proved that he was also at the scene at that time.

It's just that he didn't show up like Shi Yunlong.

"Don't rush to thank me, just cause me less trouble in the future. Nanling Prefecture is not peaceful recently. The Qing Jiao Society is ready to move and wants to erode the interests of the Chang Le Gang. The Dragon Tiger Gate and the Divine Firmament Hall are sitting idly by, and may also be plotting something.

Don't let people use you as a knife..."

Chen Yuan's pupils shrank, and he nodded.

He had already known about the Qing Jiao Society's anomaly because of the Four Ghosts of Yunjiang, but hearing it from Tao Qingyuan's mouth was different. This may mean that there may be turmoil in the short term.

Perhaps...

This is also a good opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

"You have just entered the Qi Gathering realm, and the most important thing is to cultivate well. Bei Haisheng dares not kill you in public to avoid attracting retaliation from the patrolling division, but in secret... he will never let it go. You must be careful."

Tao Qingyuan reminded.

Before he was exposed, even he could not see that Chen Yuan's cultivation had skyrocketed a lot. He thought that he was still in the early stages of the Qi Gathering realm. Chen Yuan did not make any explanation.

He just cupped his hands and said:

"Thank you for your guidance, my lord. This subordinate will definitely keep it in mind."

No matter what, Tao Qingyuan was also doing it for his own good.

......

......

While Chen Yuan was preparing to fish in troubled waters in the upcoming turmoil, a young man in a somewhat tattered blue shirt returned to a small county town.
