Starting from the Greyhound, seventy-two changes.

After Chen Ku received his seventh-rank juren crown and robes and the martial luck points for completing the task at the Martial Temple, he bowed and said goodbye to the several old scholars and the chief priest in the temple.

Special thanks to Tang Lie.

"Thank you for the recommendation, Master Tang. I will go to visit Master Tang when I am free."

Chen Ku showed due respect to the master who recommended him.

Tang Lie nodded with a smile.

Extremely satisfied.

He had expected Chen Ku to be promoted to Juren so quickly and smoothly. Because of this, he was also certain that Chen Ku would definitely be more than a Juren in the future.

Not to mention becoming the next "Grandmaster" of Qiulong Mansion, even if he surpassed Qin Yuxian and went one step further...

It is not impossible to go to the capital and get a "Jinshi" appointed by the emperor.

By then, the twenty military scholars selected from the tens of billions of warriors in the country would be able to easily become ruthless frontier officials in any province.

And Tang Lie just helped a little on Chen Ku's road, and he was able to establish a relationship of 'master' with a genius who might achieve such an achievement in the future.

Just don't make too much money.

After Chen Ku left.

Zhao Shenyang was still in the Martial Temple, sighing at Chen Ku's age and achievements.

Suddenly, a report came from outside the temple.

"Report, chief priest, the prefect heard that our Qiulong Prefecture has added another 'military candidate', and came to congratulate. In addition, he passed on an oral order, saying: Baojiao County on the front line has been difficult to capture for a long time, and Qiulong Prefecture is preparing a new army. He asked the Martial Temple whether it is willing to send this new martial candidate to the new army for training and to establish meritorious services for the recovery of Baojiao County?" The attendants knelt in front of Zhao Shenyang and other elders of the Martial Temple to convey the oral order of the prefect Li Lishan.

Tang Lie's face darkened, but he didn't say anything.

Then Zhao Shenyang casually waved his hand and refused, saying:

"Inform the government that this candidate is still young and has a bright future. Juren is just a starting point for him. If he joins the army now, it would be a waste of talent."

Upon hearing this, the attendant replied, "I will report the truth."

Tang Lie breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Fortunately, the chief priest was not stupid and knew Chen Ku's potential, so he did not agree to Li Lishan's unreasonable request.

He sneered to himself:

"This Li Lishan is dreaming in broad daylight. If it was any other martial arts candidate, it would be fine. But a martial arts candidate like Chen Ku has even met the preliminary qualifications to enter the capital to take the imperial examination and meet His Majesty. How could the Lord Sacrifice Official let him go to the battlefield at such a young age?"

Of course, going to the battlefield is the fastest way to achieve achievements.

But since ancient times, everything has to do with origin.

Especially those who are above the third rank in the imperial court, and some are even appointed as generals and given titles of nobility.

The same military merit.

One was an ordinary military candidate, and the other was a successful candidate in the palace examination...

Which one is more likely to get promoted?

It is easy to understand with your toes. Of course, the higher your academic background, the better. It will be easier to get promoted when you achieve success in the future.

Li Lishan now wants to ask Chen Ku to go over and form a new army to attack the monsters in Ping'an Road, Baojiao County. Of course, he may give Chen Ku a captain position of moderate size, who can lead more than a thousand people and may be able to make great achievements.

But he completely ignored Chen Ku's future development.

It's like a student who is excellent in both character and academic performance and has the potential to become the top scholar in the future, but he is asked to drop out of private school before he even graduates and become a private tutor.

……

Chen Ku didn't know that the chief priest had directly helped him reject the recruitment from the prefect and preserved his potential. At this time, he walked out of the Martial Temple.

Listening to the voices of the newspaper boys from the famous "Newspaper Office" in the streets and alleys outside.

What he was shouting was the special announcement that he had passed the martial arts examination.

"This celebrity is really a paparazzi, his nose is more sensitive than mine..."

Chen Ku shook his head. He had never expected that he had just obtained the title of Juren from the Wu Temple, but a newspaper company of a famous family even printed a court bulletin. He didn't know whether it was because their connections were too wide or their means were too sophisticated.

But it has to be said.

There were newsboys all over the city promoting him.

As Chen Ku walked back to the Three Emperors' Ancestors' Association, everyone he saw on the road recognized him.

"Oh, look! Isn't this the new scholar Mr. Chen mentioned in the court newspaper?"

"Master Juren!"

"Seventeen-year-old scholar, my God, this is the first time in the Qiulong Mansion in nearly a hundred years."

"Could it be that the Wu Qu star from the sky came down to earth and was reincarnated?"

Chen Ku listened to the voices of the people around him, and he was actually somewhat happy in his heart. The sedan chair was carried by everyone, and he was able to have his current status through his own efforts. Listening to the praises from the neighbors around him, he couldn't help but feel like he was back in Dachen Village.

Even the constables from Qiulong Mansion who met him on the road immediately became solemn and bowed to him after seeing him:

"Hello, Mr. Chen."

Walk down this street.

He thought to himself:
"As expected, I am still a vulgar person. I am secretly happy when I hear these compliments and comments. Compared with the protagonists in my previous life's novels who remain calm and composed, I am vulgar."

……

In this way, we arrived at the Three Emperors’ Ancestors’ Meeting.

Haven't entered yet.

Then I saw a long string of firecrackers exploding at the entrance of the Three Emperors’ Association.

Fu Baicao and a group of elders from Yaowang Hall all gathered around enthusiastically and excitedly.

"Congratulations, Mr. Chen, a 17-year-old scholar. I, Fu, have lived for over a hundred years, and this is the first time I've seen one." Fu Baicao came over excitedly to greet Chen Ku, saying, "You are truly a young man to be feared."

Chen Ku was not used to the compliments from familiar people, so he smiled and said, "Mr. Fu, don't be like this. We are all family. You should just call me Chen Ku, not Master."

"It's not okay to call you Chen Ku directly." Fu Baicao said with a smile: "The Patriarch Association has already discussed and approved it internally. Please move into the Patriarch Association and become the 'elder' of our Three Emperors Patriarch Association. If you don't want us to call you Master Juren, then from now on, we will follow the association's way of addressing elders and call you 'Mr. Chen'. How about that?"

"Elder?" Chen Ku was slightly surprised. Yang Luchan stepped forward and said with a smile: "My disciple, you have introduced a seventh-level alchemist to the Three Emperors Patriarch Association. It is such a great achievement. If you are not the elder, who will be the elder?"

Chen Ku smiled slightly.

He did not refuse this identity.

Because he was supposed to continue suppressing the Thirty-Six Martial Arts Association in place of his senior brother Qin Yu. Now that the Three Emperors Patriarch Association regards him as an elder, it is naturally a lot easier.

"Where is the alchemist? I'll go see him." Chen Ku asked Erlang.

Fu Baicao said: "Alchemist Xiao Yan is now resting in the courtyard of the Patriarch Association."

"Xiao Yan?"

Chen Ku smiled knowingly.

The incarnation was originally a part of him, possessing his memory and wisdom. He gave himself the name of "impersonator alchemist". In this world, he should be the only one who understands what it means.

Enter the Three Emperors Patriarchs Meeting.

Jilang was found soon.

"How is it?" Chen asked with a wry smile.

Erlang also walked out of the door with a smile, saying, "According to your instructions, I successfully refined ten fifth-level top-grade bone-strengthening pills with the help of Kou Ming using the fire-mouthed kettle, which convinced the sixth-level alchemist in the Ancestral Master Association to accept me. Now the Three Emperors Ancestral Master Association has initially trusted my identity and alchemy ability, especially the sixth-level alchemist 'Gu Chen', who has begun to share some of the Ancestral Master Association's pill recipes with me under the instruction of the Ancestral Master Association, but there is no new demon pill recipe yet."

Chen Ku listened to the several pill recipes that Erlang said. There were more than a dozen in total, and there was even a recipe for a fifth-level pill.

He smiled softly and said:
"There is no rush to collect the demon pill formula. I have now been hired by them as a senior member of the Three Emperors Ancestors Association. Next, I only need to complete the first pill transaction with the Twelve Guardians, and I won't have to worry about not having new pill formulas."

Jiro nodded.

As Chen Ku was speaking, he heard a sound coming from outside.

"Situ Chun, the Third Guardian of the Qiulong Martial Arts Association, has arrived."

Erlang chuckled and said, "Kou Ming has already signed a treaty with him. He should be here to take the elixir and verify its quality."

Upon hearing the voice, Chen Ku stood where he was, with a smile on his face, waiting for his nephew.

When Situ Chun walked in here.

Then he saw Chen Ku, was slightly startled, then a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he smiled and said: "Little...Uncle Master, you are here too. I heard that you have become a juren. Congratulations."

Chen Ku could see the embarrassment on the other person's face, and did not mention what happened in the Qiulong Martial Arts Association compound that day. He just smiled and asked, "Old Third, I heard that you have signed an agreement with the Three Emperors Patriarch Association. Why do you need to come here in person to get the pill?"

Situ Chun smiled awkwardly and said nothing.

Erlang smiled and stepped forward, taking out thirty bottles of pills from his sleeves, and said, "I think the Third Guardian must be worried about the quality of Xiao's pills, so he came here to check them in person."

Situ Chun coughed twice.

Chen Ku said, "As you should, Lao San, check it out."

Situ Chun let out a breath and stopped being pretentious. He opened the porcelain bottles one by one and checked them one by one. Then his face changed again and again, and he gradually became extremely shocked. Finally, he looked at Erlang and asked:
"These...are all of the best quality?"

Although these thirty bottles of pills are only first-level Qi-replenishing pills, their quality is indeed ridiculously high. One bottle contains ten pills, and thirty bottles contain three hundred pills, all of which are top-quality Qi-replenishing pills.

Erlang asked with a smile: "Why? Is the Third Protector dissatisfied?"

"No, of course not!" Situ Chun waved his hands quickly, and then his eyes were filled with joy as he said, "I can't believe it. It's top quality..."

The price of an ordinary Qi-replenishing pill outside is about one hundred taels, but if it is a top-grade one... it can be sold at a 30% premium!

That is to say...

He originally calculated that these three hundred pills were worth thirty thousand taels, but now... they are worth about forty thousand taels!

Erlang also spoke at this time, saying, "I can't guarantee anything else, but I can absolutely guarantee the quality of the pills. Not only can the pills of this realm be top-grade, but all the pills below the sixth realm can be guaranteed to be of top-grade quality... So, as long as you, the Third Guardian, find a way to sell the pills through the channels of your Qiulong Martial Arts Association every day and sell them out, I can guarantee that what you see every day is of this quality!"

“Everyone below the Sixth Realm is top-notch!” Situ Chun’s heart was beating fast.

What is this concept...

He made a rough calculation in his mind. Originally, according to the calculation based on ordinary pills, including pills of the first to fifth realms, the monthly output would be 300 bottles of first-realm pills, 100 bottles of second-realm pills, 30 bottles of third-realm pills, 10 bottles of fourth-realm pills, and 2 bottles of fifth-realm pills...

According to the market price, if this amount of pills is converted into income, it would be nearly five million taels of silver per month, or sixty million taels per year!
Now, if this alchemist can guarantee that all the pills below the sixth level are of top quality...

Then you can earn an additional 30% premium!
Nearly 80 million taels of revenue.

Although some of this money will be given to the Three Emperors Association and some to this alchemist, even so...

You can make a lot of money from the Qiulong Martial Arts Competition in a year!

"Master Xiao Dan...you are truly a god!" Situ Chun was already incoherent.

Erlang smiled but said nothing.

Chen Ku smiled faintly, looked at Situ Chun, and asked, "Third Brother, what's the matter? Did this uncle bring a lot of profit and income to the Qiulong Martial Arts Association? Are you convinced by me?"

He actually didn't mind how the profits from the sales of the pills were divided.

Because, as long as he successfully conquers the Twelve Guardians, the Qiulong Martial Arts Competition will become his property. Is there any need to separate it from himself?
Situ Chun was slightly stunned by the question raised by Chen Ku.

Immediately lowered his head.

He smiled bitterly and said:
"I am convinced. Not only am I convinced, but my fellow disciples are also convinced. We have no objection to you taking charge of the Qiulong Martial Arts Association."

Cultivation, fame, seniority, ability to make money, all the things they were proud of were surpassed by Chen Kusai, so what else could they say.

"It's good that you've accepted it." Chen Ku smiled slightly and said, "Then go back and tell Qin Fang that I will come to you in a while to discuss rescuing people. Ask him to keep an eye on the other person as well."

Situ Chun naturally knew who to save and who to look forward to.

He just glanced at Erlang, said nothing more, nodded, and said: "Okay, I will tell all the brothers after I go back, and then wait for the uncle to come."

Watched Situ Chun leave.

Chen Ku talked to Erlang again. When Erlang heard that Chen Ku had accumulated 70,000 martial luck, his eyes lit up slightly and he asked:

"Master, are you ready to enter the martial arts world to exchange for the fire-proof beads?"

Enter the world of martial arts, and you can get the fire-proof beads, and then try to subdue the 'Fire Mouth Pot Body' that was transformed from the thousand-meter volcano.

If they had the original body, maybe they could even refine the Nine Realms Divine Pill! (End of this chapter)
