The aftermath of the Yunjiang Four Ghosts' departure from the Ren family was drawing to a close.

Chen Yuan walked out of the main hall, where boxes of gold, silver, and antique paintings were stacked.

Wu Sanhu, with a beaming smile, approached Chen Yuan and cupped his fist in salute, "Lord Chen."

"Magistrate Wu, what is it?"

"We must thank the Sky Survey Division for helping our Qinghe County eradicate the Ren family, this malignant tumor..." Wu Sanhu then uttered words of flattery.

In short, he did everything to please Chen Yuan.

Raising a hand to halt Wu Sanhu's incessant chatter, Chen Yuan said, "Magistrate Wu, you are too kind. The county yamen will inevitably help with the aftermath."

"It is our duty, our duty."

"But I wonder, Lord Chen, how do you intend to dispose of the corpse of that old thief, Ren Changyi?" A glint of light flickered in Wu Sanhu's eyes.

"What ideas do you have, Magistrate Wu?"

"Could the corpse of this old thief be handed over to the county yamen?"

"You may have it."

"Then thank you very much, Lord Chen."

Wu Sanhu's face was filled with smiles.

Tomorrow, it would be spread throughout Qinghe County that under the leadership of County Lieutenant Wu Sanhu, Wu the Great, the malignant tumor of the Ren family was painstakingly eradicated, returning Qinghe County to a bright and clear world!

"I plan to expose the old thief's corpse for three days, and then find a place to bury it..."

Wu Sanhu stated his plan.

"Then don't waste the coffin. Use this thing to hold Ren Changyi's corpse."

Chen Yuan pointed to the coffin not far away.

"Good, Lord Chen is benevolent."

"Remember, bury the coffin upright."

"How so?"

Wu Sanhu was puzzled.

Chen Yuan smiled and did not explain.

"Bury the ancestors upright, and the descendants will be excellent."

He wondered if the Ren family had any descendants left!

......

......

Nangling Prefecture, inside the Sky Survey Division.

"My lord, this is the Geng Gold and the dossier."

Chen Yuan presented the items he had prepared to Tao Qingyuan.

A dossier was essential. After completing each case, a dossier needed to be prepared, inspected, and then stored in the archives.

After carefully reading the dossier, Tao Qingyuan frowned, "Ren Changyi had so many people helping him?"

Chen Yuan had noted down everyone who had attacked him, so Tao Qingyuan immediately sensed the perilous situation at the time.

"That old scoundrel, Ren Changyi, used Geng Gold as bait to lure two ignorant fools to attack this subordinate, but they were ultimately inferior and were killed on the spot!"

Chen Yuan said with a calm expression.

Tao Qingyuan glanced at Chen Yuan, his eyes containing a hint of approval.

Although Chen Yuan spoke very easily, anyone who had read the dossier would know how dangerous the situation was.

Including Ren Changyi, a total of four Ninggang realm warriors had jumped out to help, but they were all beheaded by Chen Yuan one by one. Ren Changyi's head was currently hanging in front of the Sky Survey Division to deter some people.

And Chen Yuan had fought four against one, winning a great victory!

Such a record, no matter where it was placed, could definitely be considered rare.

Tao Qingyuan now understood Zhang Xuan a little, knowing why he valued Chen Yuan so much. His eyes were as sharp as his father's, able to discover Chen Yuan, this pearl, in the crowd.

Such strength meant that Chen Yuan's talent far exceeded warriors of the same level, and his future was limitless!

After reviewing the dossier, Tao Qingyuan said, "You did very well this time. With this meritorious service, the other Sky Survey Envoys will have nothing to say."

"My lord, you flatter me."

"And this Geng Gold... is very useful to this official. Speak, what do you want? As long as it's not excessive, this official will definitely grant it."

Geng Gold, this kind of high-grade material, even if it was only the size of a thumb, was enough to be incorporated into a weapon.

"This subordinate wants a movement technique. I also ask for your guidance, my lord."

Chen Yuan's current strength in direct combat was sufficient. What he lacked was a movement technique that could greatly increase his speed.

When fighting against others, the most important things were attack, defense, and movement technique.

Chen Yuan now had the Blood Fiend Saber for unexpected attacks, the Vajra Glazed Body for defense, his physical defense was far above his peers, and he only lacked a movement technique. Even if he was no match for an opponent, Chen Yuan could quickly escape.

Moreover, if the battle became deadlocked, a sudden increase in speed could catch the opponent off guard.

"Movement technique..."

Tao Qingyuan frowned slightly and asked, "What kind of movement technique do you want?"

The Nangling Prefecture Sky Survey Division didn't seem to have any high-grade movement techniques. Only the headquarters in the capital had them, but high-grade movement techniques required a large amount of merit points to exchange for.

With Chen Yuan's current merit points, he was far from enough.

"A movement technique that can double this subordinate's speed during combat..." Chen Yuan cupped his fist in salute.

"The Sky Survey Division currently doesn't have the kind of movement technique you need. There are only three kinds of movement techniques, and they are all relatively ordinary..." Tao Qingyuan shook his head. Movement techniques were always relatively rare.

Chen Yuan was a little disappointed.

But then Tao Qingyuan said, "This official does have a fragmented movement technique. I wonder if you are interested."

"Fragmented..."

Chen Yuan was a little speechless. How come it was fragmented again?

Did this mean he would have to exchange it again when he reached a higher realm? Subconsciously, Chen Yuan wanted to refuse and exchange it for some elixirs used for cultivation.

"This movement technique is called 'Wind Riding'."

"Wind Riding?"

"It is a fragment that I accidentally obtained in a relic many years ago. It is most suitable in the Ninggang realm. It uses the true energy of the Dantian to spread to all parts of the body, especially the legs, and can instantly increase one's movement speed."

"This official once tried to cultivate it, and it is indeed extraordinary, but unfortunately, this official has injuries and cannot allow this movement technique to exert its greatest effect."

This was the first time Tao Qingyuan had revealed his own injuries to Chen Yuan.

"However, this technique requires a physical body far superior to others of the same rank to maximize its power, because it takes great pressure to increase one's speed in a short period of time. Moreover, it can only be used up to three times in a short period of time, otherwise, it will damage the legs. Do you want to learn it?"

Tao Qingyuan looked at Chen Yuan with a smile that was not a smile.

He seemed very sure that he would learn it.

Obviously, Chen Yuan could defeat several experts of the same rank at the beginning of the Naqi level, which meant that his physical body must be extremely strong, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why he was so strong.

Below the Tongxuan realm, the blessing of the physical body to combat power was extremely huge.

Generally, being able to show strength at the Naqi level must be related to the physical body.

Chen Yuan was silent for a few breaths. It seemed that this movement technique was really recommended for him.

It was extremely suitable for him.

"Since it is recommended by my lord, this subordinate will naturally not refuse."

Chen Yuan smiled.

"It's a pity that this movement technique is fragmented, otherwise, our Nangling Prefecture Sky Survey Division would have another high-grade movement technique. But this movement technique is not easy to cultivate. Nie Qiyun and the others have explored it for many years and have not even gotten started, and finally gave up."

Zhang Xuan valued Chen Yuan so much, Tao Qingyuan understood that his talent was extraordinary. Now... he just didn't know how his comprehension was. sudanxs.com

In the upper realm, comprehension also occupies a very important position.

"What about Lord Zhang Xuan?"

Chen Yuan really wanted to know how Zhang Xuan, who was in the top 100 of the Hidden Dragon List, cultivated this movement technique.

Tao Qingyuan: "He... do you think Zhang Xuan would lack a movement technique?"

Chen Yuan smiled without saying a word. Thinking about it, it was true that Zhang Xuan, who had a deep background, would not lack a movement technique. Naturally, he would not cultivate a fragmented one. High-grade and even top-level techniques within the court were his choice.

"Alright, you can go down first. I will have someone send Wind Riding to you."

Tao Qingyuan picked up the Geng Gold, his eyes a little fiery.

"Thank you, my lord!"

Chen Yuan understood that Tao Qingyuan was taking care of him, otherwise, even if he got the Geng Gold with his merit points, it would not be enough for him to exchange for a movement technique.

After leaving Tao Qingyuan's place, Chen Yuan returned to the office.

He began to distribute the gains from the Ren family to the Sky Survey Guards below.

It was not an equal distribution, but was determined by merit.

Among them, Yue Shan and Mo Donghe received the most rewards, followed by Yan Qing and Yang Feng...

......

......

Thus, another three days passed.

During these three days, Chen Yuan's record also began to spread within the Sky Survey Division. Defeating four enemies alone and deterring everyone, repelling the Ning Sha warrior monk Xuan Nu of the Jinshan Temple with one punch, all demonstrated Chen Yuan's strength.

And his status was also significantly improved. At least, except for a few Sky Survey Envoys of the same level, no one dared to gossip about Chen Yuan behind his back.

Tao Qingyuan's 'Wind Riding' movement technique was also delivered to Chen Yuan.

It was an engraved copy.

Unlike the secret manuals he had imagined, it was only a few dozen formulas.

Chen Yuan comprehended it for a day, but didn't understand it very well, and could only slowly comprehend it.

During these three days, in addition to cultivating the Wind Riding movement technique, Chen Yuan also swallowed pills to enhance his cultivation, and did not rashly go looking for Shen Yanshu.

Instead, he first asked Yue Shan and the others to inquire about the Shen family, and wanted to know what this Phoenix Marrow Qi was.

Inside the Sky Survey Division's archives.

Chen Yuan held a book of strange tales in his hands, his brows slightly furrowed.

This was the record of Phoenix Marrow Qi that he had ordered someone to find. After the Sky Survey Guards found it, they immediately notified Chen Yuan without delay.

However, Chen Yuan was not very satisfied, because there were only a few brief notes recorded on it.

Among them, the most focused on by Chen Yuan were the Phoenix Marrow Spiritual Body and the Phoenix Marrow Qi.

The record said that only those with a Phoenix Marrow Spiritual Body would have a Phoenix Marrow Qi in their body.

The Phoenix Marrow Spiritual Body was a relatively rare special physique. Its own aptitude was considered high-grade, but there was no detailed introduction to what was special about it.

As for the Phoenix Marrow Qi, there was nothing at all.

It was only recorded that the Phoenix Marrow Qi could only be used once in a lifetime and was nurtured on the Phoenix Marrow Spiritual Body.

Letting out a long sigh, Chen Yuan put down the strange tales, deciding to go and see for himself. He estimated that he wouldn't be able to find anything by investigating.

But thinking that it could be guided by the Destiny Altar, it must be a high-grade opportunity, most suitable for his current situation.

......

Just as Chen Yuan was searching in the Sky Survey Division, a piece of news shook half of Nangling Prefecture City.

Dengxian Tower released the latest issue of the Hidden Dragon List.

Chen Yuan was on the list!

It said:

Chen Yuan, Sky Survey Envoy of Nangling Sky Survey Division, age twenty-one, born in Ping'an County, on September 24th of the Jingtai seventh year, killed a warrior of the same realm... repelled Xuan Nu, a Ning Sha warrior monk of the Jinshan Temple.

Ranked on the Hidden Dragon List...

What ranking, everyone guess, there will be a prize for guessing correctly.

This is much more likely than the lottery!
