Martial Arts and Longevity: Starting from the Spiritual Beast Picture

A few days later, Zhao Lin and Chen Zhongqi rushed to Huanglong Mansion.

Huanglong Mansion, also called Huanglong County, is located in the north-central part of Chenghua Sect.

The Chenghua Sect has been established for 50,000 years, and its headquarters has changed many places. However, in the past 10,000 years, the headquarters has been Huanglong Mansion and has never changed again.

Although Huanglong Mansion is a county in name, it occupies an extremely large area. There are dozens of peaks within its jurisdiction, and there are nearly ten thousand monks, including countless spiritual root monks and mortals.

There is a huge boat station in front of the mountain gate, with hundreds of large and small spiritual boats moored.

When Zhao Lin and Chen Zhongqi arrived, it was already late, so they stayed at Zhouyi for one night.

Early the next morning, the two passed through the mountain gate and entered Huanglong Mansion.

"All departments work every morning. Elder Lu should be at the Yamen at this time."

After listening to Chen Zhongqi's introduction, Zhao Lin decided to go directly to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry to find Lu Yuanxiu.

The Yamen of the Ministry of Industry is located at Qianzhang Peak, and Chen Zhongqi took Zhao Lin to the top of the mountain on a familiar road.

Walking halfway up the mountain, a group of buildings appeared in front of you.

The word "Ministry of Industry" is written on the plaque on the gate.

The two of them walked forward and came to a large hall.

Chen Zhongqi explained his intention to the disciple who was standing guard. The disciple went in to inform him and quickly turned back, "Elder Lu has invited you."

"Thank you."

Under the leadership of the working disciple, the two walked into an inner hall and saw Lu Yuanxiu who was working.

"Junior Zhao Lin, meet Elder Lu."

"My subordinate, Chen Zhongqi, pays homage to Elder Lu."

Zhao Lin and Chen Zhongqi saluted together.

"It's time for you to come as well."

Lu Yuanxiu nodded and smiled, beckoning the two of them to sit down.

"You broke through the foundation building, and I didn't give you a gift. I'll make up for it this time."

Lu Yuanxiu raised his hand and threw over a bag painted with animal patterns.

Zhao Lin reached out to catch it and found that the pattern on the bag looked familiar. He looked carefully and found that it was the Qiankun bag that he had captured after killing He Shanfeng.

The restrictions on the Qiankun Bag have been unlocked, and spiritual consciousness can penetrate unimpeded. There is a space about three feet square inside.

"This……"

Zhao Lin took a deep breath. The Qiankun Bag is a top-quality treasure. Most foundation-building monks rarely have one. Lu Yuanxiu actually gave it to himself as a gift.

Lu Yuanxiu laughed when he saw this, "The Ministry of Rites is too stingy. They only reward good deeds for killing He Shanfeng, so I asked them to get the Qiankun Bag."

"Thank you, Elder Lu. This gift is too valuable."

Zhao Lin was overjoyed and thanked him profusely.

Lu Yuanxiu didn't take it seriously and looked at Chen Zhongqi: "I have something to do. Zhong Qi, please take Zhao Lin to get acquainted with him."

Chen Zhongqi responded quickly: "Yes."

"The Ministry of Works is in charge of the four major arts. Most of its subordinates are practical people who like to work in a hustle and bustle. There are less intrigues than other places. Chief Zhao is new here, so he should familiarize himself with the environment first."

Chen Zhongqi knew how to measure things, and after entering Huanglong Mansion, he called him "Sir Zhao Lin".

While leading Zhao Lin around, he introduced the situation of the Ministry of Industry.

After Zhao Lin got familiar with him, he took him to a confidential place to receive a waist tag and two sets of clothes, and then came to a quiet courtyard.

"This is the residence arranged for you by Elder Lu. Chief Zhao will live here from now on."

The yard is not big, but it is a single family.

Zhao Lin was very satisfied. Walking along the way, he could see that many residences were shared by multiple people. With his treatment, I wonder what position he would be assigned?

Next, Zhao Lin went to the Yamen every day to get acquainted with relevant matters. There are four to five hundred monks in the Ministry of Works, and from top to bottom are low-level officials such as elders, ministers, ministers, and secretary-general affairs.

After a few days, Zhao Lin became familiar with most of his colleagues.

People from the Ministry of Industry knew that Zhao Lin had a close relationship with Lu Yuanxiu, and they were very polite on the surface.

Zhao Lin also learned that the elders and sect masters of the sect were all Zifu monks, and there was no Golden Pill monk.

Golden elixir monks only hold the empty position of Supreme Elder, focusing on cultivation and accepting donations from the sect.

In a blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

Lu Yuanxiu never arranged errands for Zhao Lin.

Zhao Lin was not in a hurry. Lu Yuanxiu had just established a foothold. Although he brought a group of team members, he did not make any personnel changes immediately.

That morning, Zhao Lin suddenly received a notice that all monks above the rank of Attendant should gather in the back mountain.

The position of servant is the watershed of the position, and only foundation-building monks can hold it. Although Zhao Lin has no position for the time being, his cultivation level meets the conditions, so he will go with him.

There is a stone platform on the mountain behind Qianzhang Peak, which is a hundred feet in diameter.

A group of foundation-building monks stood on the stone platform, and Lu Yuanxiu and an old man with white eyebrows stood in front of them.

The Ministry of Industry adopts a dual-elder system. Lu Yuanxiu is the first elder, and the white-browed old man named Lu Ruohai holds the position of second elder. The two are in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Industry and serve as each other's alternatives.

"Today's meeting is very important. The sect leader has ordered that not a word should be revealed. What you see and hear must be kept confidential."

Lu Yuanxiu said solemnly.

"I would like to emphasize again that if the news is leaked, the sect will be expelled from the sect at the least, and..."

Lu Ruohai said in a stern tone.

Zhao Lin was curious, wondering what caused such a big fight?

Lu Yuanxiu said nothing more, took out a token and shined it into the open space behind him.

There was a wave of mana, and the wreckage of a spiritual boat that was more than five feet high and more than ten feet long appeared.

The spirit boat was badly damaged and covered with rust.

"This spirit boat was found in a mountain in Xizhuzhou..."

Lu Yuanxiu paced and talked.

It turns out that this spirit boat was not built by the Chenghua Sect. Last month, two war cultivators patrolling the border were patrolling in the air. When it was dark and ready to finish work, they noticed a silver light flickering on the ground.

Out of curiosity, the two went to check and found a spiritual boat in a swamp.

There were several remains of monks on the spirit boat, and the flashes of light were emitted by the armor on the monks' bodies.

The two of them discovered the Taiyin Sect's emblem on the spirit boat. They realized that the matter was serious and did not dare to neglect it, so they immediately reported it to their superiors.

The sect sent people to investigate, and it was confirmed that this spiritual boat came from the Taiyin Sect, and it was the "Two-Headed Eagle" known as the most powerful medium-sized war boat.

The Ministry of War immediately blocked the news and transported the spirit boat back to the headquarters.

Zhao Lin's heart trembled when he heard the words "Taiyin Sect".

The monks on Xuanyuan Continent all know that Taiyin Sect is the most powerful sect today.

Although this sect is far away in the "New Yuan Realm", its influence reaches all corners of the mainland.

Not to mention the fact that the Chenghua Sect has been unable to regain Chiwei Island has something to do with the Taiyin Sect.

The Taiyin Sect has a powerful Lingzhou warship and has troops stationed on the Dian Sect's island. Every once in a while, it conducts "joint exercises" with the Dian Sect.

Therefore, despite its superior strength, the Chenghua Sect could only compete with the Diyin Sect for Pearl Beach through sea missions. It was impossible to seize the island directly by relying on strength.

Because if a war breaks out, the Chenghua Sect will face the alliance between the Di An Sect and the Taiyin Sect, and even other coalition forces.

In case of defeat, let alone regaining Chiwei Island, the entire island may even be lost.

So it has been delayed until now. (End of chapter)
