"Not bad!"

Since he had already been seen through, there was naturally nothing to hide.

"May I have a look?"

Jiang He became somewhat interested.

"Please, sir."

Chen Yuan's eyes flickered. With a thought, the Emperor Slaughter Saber behind him left its sheath and flew towards Jiang He.

"Roar!"

A ferocious dragon's roar rang out, and a violent aura enveloped Jiang He.

Jiang He frowned slightly, and the Zhuxian Sword resonated in response.

Within the confined space, the two divine weapons contended with each other.

"Come!"

Jiang He lightly tapped the table, as if heavily striking the heart. A powerful aura flashed and disappeared, and then the Emperor Slaughter Saber fell into his hand.

Scanning the fierce blade, he softly recited:

"Heroes rise and fall, time waits for no man. Laughing, we discuss empires, but life is just a fleeting dream."

Finally, his gaze settled on the words 'Emperor Slaughter' on the hilt, and he frowned slightly, but soon relaxed. He shifted his gaze to Chen Yuan and asked:

"Did you create this poem?"

"I'm afraid I've embarrassed Azure Envoy."

Chen Yuan nodded and smiled.

"You have quite the ambition."

Jiang He replied.

"Life is short. If one doesn't have a goal, wouldn't it be a waste? Naturally, one should live freely and happily." Chen Yuan deliberately guided the meaning towards carefree living.

But Jiang He clearly didn't believe it. He said in a deep voice:

"When serving in the imperial court in the future, it's best not to let others see this poem."

"Chen understands."

"This saber is good, no less than the Zhuxian Sword, but your cultivation strength is still not enough. You must be careful when fighting enemies in the future. Otherwise, you will inevitably be coveted."

Staring at the Emperor Slaughter Saber for a moment, Jiang He pondered.

"Naturally."

Then, Jiang He didn't say anything more, but returned the Emperor Slaughter Saber to Chen Yuan. He didn't even ask what grade of divine weapon it was. To be able to rival the Zhuxian Sword, it was naturally at least a Fourth Tribulation divine weapon.

"Was this saber forged by Ouyang Yezi?"

"That's what the people from Hidden Weapon Valley said."

"Good fortune."

Even Jiang He couldn't help but sigh.

Back then, to obtain the Zhuxian Sword, he had almost died nine times to pass the trial of that powerful expert, obtained his inheritance, and spent more than ten years to reach this point.

And Chen Yuan had undergone such a big change in just a few months, which was truly enviable.

"Before, when Chen encountered an ambush in Tangshan Prefecture, did you have any backup plan, sir?"

This was something Chen Yuan really wanted to ask.

Because he had already sent a message to Jiang He, and the other party had told him to let go and kill, not to worry about anything else. At that time, he was full of confidence and not afraid of anyone intercepting him.

In fact, this was also part of the reason.

"If you were defeated, there would have been a backup plan." Jiang He said calmly.

Chen Yuan nodded, secretly saying as expected.

"Besides reporting the Zhao Hao matter to you, sir, there is also something I would like to ask for your help." He took a sip of the tea that had been prepared on the table and said thoughtfully.

"It's about Liu ZhengSong's official position, right?"

"You have keen eyes, sir. Liu ZhengSong is upright and steady in his actions. It's a good thing for the people that he's now stationed in Tangshan. I've cleaned up the Jianghu of Tangshan once,

Next, it's time to recuperate with the people."

"Tangshan Prefecture is located at the intersection of three prefectures. It is indeed a good place. Since you want it here, I will do my best to help you. As for Liu ZhengSong's official position,

I already informed the Governor of the state before you came."

Jiang He had been paying attention to Chen Yuan, so he naturally knew what he had done in Tangshan Prefecture. As long as one wasn't stupid, they could see that he was an ambitious guy.

But whether for him or for the Taoist Temple, this was a good thing.

He would naturally do his best to protect him.

A hint of joy flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes, and he cupped his hands and said:

"Thank you very much, sir."

"Now that you are ranked fourth on the Hidden Dragon List, you have not disappointed our expectations. Only by obtaining the Ascension Fruit will you be the best thanks to Jiang."

Jiang He's expression straightened, and he changed the subject.

This place was covered by vital energy, and outsiders could not spy on the conversation between the two, so Jiang He did not hide too much.

"Don't worry, sir, I will do everything in my power to obtain the Ascension Fruit." Chen Yuan knew very well that the reason why Su Ziyue had come to him, and the reason why Jiang He had repeatedly helped him,

Most of the reason was because of the Ascension Fruit.

He had shown his value, so he could be valued.

And the best way to repay them was to seize the Ascension Fruit.

"Our Taoist Masters have already discussed it. As long as you seize the Ascension Fruit, you can become an official member of the Taoist Temple without having to advance to the Dan Realm Grandmaster."

Jiang He looked at Chen Yuan very seriously.

Only Grandmasters are allowed to become Taoist Masters.

This was a rule of the Taoist Temple since its establishment. Even he had become the Heavenly Sword Taoist Master after advancing to the Dan Realm, but this time,

They unanimously decided to make an exception for Chen Yuan.

Because he had shown true talent. In the late stage of Tongxuan, and even without reaching the peak of Tongxuan, he had successfully killed a genuine Dan Realm Grandmaster.

Before, he had clearly seen this scene through a wisp of his mind attached to the Zhuxian Sword.

He couldn't help but be shocked by it.

He knew that even he had found it difficult to accomplish such a feat back then. He had never killed a Grandmaster before Tongxuan, and at most had only been able to contend without being defeated.

So after that battle ended, he used the Heavenly Book to propose to the other Taoist Masters that Chen Yuan be made an exception to become a Taoist Master after obtaining the Ascension Fruit.

He, Jiang He, would guarantee it!

Chen Yuan lowered his eyes, understanding the meaning of this sentence.

It meant that the Taoist Temple's importance to him had reached the extreme. After all, even if a peak Tongxuan wanted to form the core, it would still take many years of cultivation.

This sentence meant that after he obtained the Ascension Fruit in the future, he would be able to interact with the Dan Realm Grandmasters and even the Transformation Yang True Men of the Taoist Temple on an equal footing as a Tongxuan.

The meaning contained in this was very significant.

"Chen understands!"

"In addition to this, the Taoist Temple can also help you do one thing before the Ascension Battle. Originally, we were thinking of giving you a top-grade spiritual saber to protect you, but now it seems that it is no longer needed.

However, this matter cannot be canceled. You can make a request, and as long as we can fulfill it, we will definitely do it. It can be regarded as your first reward for seizing the Ascension Fruit."

Jiang He stared at Chen Yuan and said.

"Anything is fine?"

"Within the scope of our abilities, for example, the Taoist Temple can give you a top-grade spiritual pill, which is enough to allow your cultivation to take a step forward before the Ascension Battle begins.

Even if you don't reach the peak, it won't be far off, and... this spiritual pill has almost no pill poison."

Chen Yuan's eyes moved slightly, but after weighing it, he still shook his head and said:

"Can this matter be delayed?"

If it weren't for the opportunity guided by the Destiny Altar before, Chen Yuan might have really agreed directly. After all, his only relatively prominent weakness now was that his cultivation was still a line short.

If he had this spiritual pill, his chances of competing for the Ascension Fruit would greatly increase.

But he had already received the guidance of the opportunity before, which made him hesitate. Compared to any spiritual pill, the opportunity was obviously more important.

Moreover, from his past experiences, he could also see that the opportunities guided by the Destiny Altar were not randomly guided, but had profound meanings, and some could even echo each other.

If this link was missing, problems were likely to arise in the future.

Therefore, he decided to first obtain this opportunity. If the divine lotus guided had no effect on cultivation, it would not be too late to swallow the spiritual pill.

Now he had double insurance.

"Hmm?"

Jiang He stared at Chen Yuan.

He originally thought that the other party would agree directly. After all, a spiritual pill that could directly increase the cultivation of the divine soul was very precious and was currently the thing that Chen Yuan urgently needed.

Now it seemed that... the other party was very confident in improving his cultivation.

Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of what a certain Taoist Master had said before.

He said that Chen Yuan's speed in improving his cultivation was too fast, and at the same time, his aura was not weak. It was not relying on the power of pills, and it was very likely that he had some treasure that could quickly improve his cultivation.

Now thinking about it, it seemed to make some sense.

"Yes, this matter can be kept until later. If you ask us for help in the future, you don't have to pay any price."

The members of the Taoist Temple said that they were based on the principle of equal exchange, but in essence, those with high cultivation would help those with low cultivation more, whether it was the current Chen Yuan or him in the past.

Before becoming an official member of the Taoist Temple, they would receive some help within their power.

Therefore, he would spare no effort to take care of Chen Yuan.

Because someone had treated him like this in the past.

"Okay."

Jiang He answered accurately.

"The Golden Envoy participated in the Ascension Battle before. I don't know what the rules are?" This was also what Chen Yuan was concerned about. Knowing oneself and one's enemy was the key to winning every battle.

If he could understand it, it would also be of great help to him.

"The rules of the Ascension Battle are not fixed, and most of them are different. You will know when you see it." Jiang He didn't say much, because it was of no help at all.

"Before passing through Tangshan Prefecture, I had a meeting with Zhang Xuan. He said... His Majesty is likely to summon me to the capital after the Ascension Battle. What do you think, sir?"

If he wanted to have any turning point in this matter, he would still have to rely on Jiang He.

But unexpectedly, upon hearing this sentence, Jiang He's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stared at him and asked:

"Is this matter certain?"

"There is a good possibility."

Looking at Jiang He's somewhat surprised gaze, Chen Yuan couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"Very good, you don't have to worry about this matter. If Jingtai really transfers you to the capital to take office, it will be a good thing. You don't have to worry about this matter,

I will help you with the rest."

Jiang He said in a deep voice, constantly tapping the table with his fingers.

"Chen doesn't want to go to the capital."

Finally, Chen Yuan still said what he thought.

He had no interest in working there.

The capital was a holy place for some officials, but for him, who lacked nothing in resources, it would not be good to go there. He would rather continue to secretly accumulate strength.

"If Jingtai issues an imperial decree to let you go, not going is disobeying the decree, and this matter is related to a plan of the Taoist Temple. Originally, I was thinking that after you broke through to the Dan Realm, I would also find a way to transfer you to the capital."

"This..."

"Those foundations you left in Tangshan Prefecture are not important. With me watching, there will be no mistakes. And the capital is where the essence of the Great Jin lies,

Since you have ambitions, how can you not know anything about the imperial court?"

Jiang He did not order him in the tone of a superior, but rather persuaded him earnestly.

Because in his eyes, Chen Yuan was now only one identity away from being an official member of the Taoist Temple. As long as there were no accidents in the future,

He would definitely join the Taoist Temple.

No, to be precise, the other party was already a member of the Taoist Temple.

But he was currently between an outer member and an official member.

"Chen understands."

After thinking for a long time, Chen Yuan finally nodded slowly.

Then, Chen Yuan stayed in the Sky Patrol Hall for another half an hour, and then he was taken away by a Sky Patrol Guard ordered by Jiang He, and found a mansion for him in the Sky Patrol Division.

If he wanted to live there, no one would dare to say anything even if he lived there until the Ascension Battle started.

In fact, Chen Yuan had another question, but he never asked it, feeling that it was not appropriate.

That question was what exactly was the situation of the battle between Jiang He and the old ghost of the Yun family that was rumored in the Jianghu.

Chen Yuan really wanted to know.

After Chen Yuan left, Jiang He was silent for a long time. It seemed that it was time. He took out the Heavenly Book and transmitted his voice:

"Chen Yuan is here."

The Heavenly Book flickered for a moment, and Su Ziyue's voice rang out from inside:

"What requirements did he make?"

"He wants to put it on hold for a while and talk about it later."

"Oh? He didn't accept that spiritual pill?"

"Your kindness was wasted." Jiang He said softly.

That spiritual pill was something that Su Ziyue had finally obtained, and she thought it was suitable for him now, but she didn't expect Chen Yuan to refuse directly.

"It seems that Chen Yuan has other means and is confident that he can improve his cultivation before the Ascension Battle. This son is indeed extraordinary." A thick male voice rang out.

"I don't know about this."

"You transmitted the message to us, not just for such a small matter, right?" Su Ziyue snorted softly.

She herself had a little grudge against Jiang He, but it was harmless.

"Of course not. In addition to this, there is another matter that is very important to us."

"Brother Jiang, speak frankly."

"Speak quickly."

"Chen Yuan said that Zhang Xuan of Nanling Prefecture told him that Jingtai intends to transfer him to the capital to take office after the Ascension Battle." Jiang He's tone was calm.

But the other Taoist Masters were not so calm.

"Is this true?"

"There is such a thing? It seems that we don't need to find a way to transfer Chen Yuan." The dignified female voice that had not appeared also echoed.

"This is a coincidence." The thick man laughed.

"If Chen Yuan cooperates with us from the inside and outside, this plan of ours will also add a lot of chances of success." Su Ziyue responded.

"It's just that Chen Yuan is a little unwilling. It seems that we have to wait until he becomes an official member before we can tell him the final plan."

"This matter needs to be delayed a little, at least until Chen Yuan forms the core." Su Ziyue said with a solemn tone.

"Yo, Sister Ziyue is so concerned about Chen Yuan?" Sister Su Qing laughed softly.

"After the Ascension Battle, Chen Yuan will be one of us. Do we still want him to take risks?"

"You are so sure that he can get the Ascension Fruit?"

"I think he can."

"It seems that the Seven Emotions Taoist Master is indeed different to Chen Yuan." The thick man also laughed.

"Brother Underworld Prison, don't forget what happened before?" Su Ziyue responded.

"I was just joking."

"Sister Su Qing, how is the woman I sent you before?"

"Her talent is considered to be top-grade. She is now about to break through to Tongxuan and is practicing with Qingyan. It's a pity that if her Yuan Yin was still there, she would probably have broken through by now."

"Hmm..."

......

......

The story is divided into two parts, and Chen Yuan is having a comfortable time.

While Jiang He and others were transmitting messages through the Heavenly Book, Chen Yuan also received an invitation, with the signature of Ye Chenbai.

The intelligence capabilities of the Ascension Tower were indeed not weak. As soon as he came out of the Sky Patrol Hall, people from the Ascension Tower had been waiting for a long time. Obviously, the other party had learned of his arrival with extreme speed from the moment he entered the Sky Patrol Division.

Inside the Ascension Tower in Qingzhou City.

This was considered to be the Ascension Tower with the highest specifications in the Qingzhou region. The Tower Master in charge was generally Xiang Jing. If he was not there, then the two Deputy Tower Masters would be in charge.

And now, Ye Chenbai had also been promoted to Deputy Tower Master.

It had only been a few months since they last met, and the other party had also reached the Tongxuan cultivation level.

However, the other party had only just entered it.

After some polite greetings, Ye Chenbai led Chen Yuan to sit down and poured him a pot of good tea, which was exactly the same as the spiritual tea that Chen Yuan and Xiang Jing had drunk together before.

From this, it could also be seen that Ye Chenbai's status was high.

"I must congratulate Brother Ye on his promotion."

"Brother Chen, don't make fun of Ye. If there is to be congratulations, it should be Ye who congratulates you. It is true that a day apart feels like three autumns. It has only been a few months since we last met, and now Brother Chen has already been ranked among the top four of the Hidden Dragon, a true and absolute genius. Ye's vision was not wrong back then!"

Ye Chenbai smiled very happily.

"Brother Ye, you are too kind. As you know, Chen is not very interested in these things."

With a light smile, Ye Chenbai said:

"Brother Chen, you are now ranked among the top four of the Hidden Dragon. I wonder about the matter that Ye mentioned before..."

He looked at Chen Yuan with concern.

As a branch of the Ye family, his status was not high or low, and he still needed some achievements. If Chen Yuan really obtained the Ascension Fruit, it would be an excellent thing for him.

"This is one time, and that is another. Now Chen can be said to have some slight fame, and he also wants to see the other talents on the Hidden Dragon List, so it would not be in vain for him to come here in this life."

"Haha, Brother Chen is right. With Brother Chen's strength, obtaining the Ascension Fruit is as easy as pie."

Ye Chenbai laughed heartily.

With Chen Yuan's consent, both parties were naturally happy. After drinking a pot of tea, the small talk between the two was almost over, and Chen Yuan also began to ask him about the real purpose of his trip.

It was about the Ascension Platform of Dream Swamp in Yunzhou.

The reason why he came to Qingzhou City this time was actually to go to Yunzhou along the way.

It just so happened that Ye Chenbai had come to him, so he didn't need to go to other Ascension Towers to inquire about this matter.

After listening to Chen Yuan's nonsense, Ye Chenbai nodded with a solemn expression, and immediately began to mobilize the Ascension Tower in Qingzhou City to inquire about the Dream Swamp in Yunzhou in front of Chen Yuan.

Before long, someone brought a small booklet, which contained all the information about the Ascension Platform.

"Brother Chen, please take a look."
