Zhu Ying handled the matter swiftly and decisively, and the thirty elite savages were sent to the courtyard that afternoon.

A savage wearing black armor and with disheveled hair appeared in front of Chen Jiuge in a crooked manner.

The female official who was in charge of sending the savages away reminded: "Manager Chen, these savages have low intelligence, probably about the same as a ten-year-old child of our human race."

"They are all at the Tianyuan realm, so we need to keep a closer eye on them."

"That's no problem, Dagu, Ergu, I'll leave this group of people to you to handle. I want them to be obedient."

"squeak"

A fiery red mouse, only the size of an adult's palm, crawled out from under Chen Jiuge's long hair with sleepy eyes.

This is a Fire Spirit Rat, but it is a Fire Spirit Rat that has mutated four times. Not only has its cultivation reached the Dharma Realm, its potential is also extremely high. It is not difficult for it to at least reach the Great Divine Ability Realm.

More importantly, it is still able to mutate and is currently undergoing its fifth mutation. In the future, it will at least be a spiritual beast at the Shenzang realm.

"Sorry"

Huo Ling led his people past the gate of the courtyard. He couldn't help but look at the Holy Infant Fruit tree in the corner of the courtyard. Seeing that it had not yet grown, he couldn't help but leave with his people in disappointment.

Last year, Zhu Ying said that once 10,000 Jade Rats were bred, the Fire Spirit would belong to him. Chen Jiuge immediately gave him a contract. It was easy to get just 10,000 Fire Spirit Rats.

However, the Fire Spirit has been undergoing transformation for more than a year and the first mutation has not yet been completed, which makes Chen Jiuge a little disappointed. The speed is too slow.

Bei'an City

As one of the most remote cities in the ancient country of Qingming, Bei'an City is extremely prosperous. Because the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, there are a lot of cultivators here. Many cultivators who have committed crimes like to go to the border.

The Xuefei Palace is located in Bei'an City.

There will always be at least some powerful families in a city, and Bei'an City is no exception. In fact, the powerful families in Bei'an City are particularly powerful.

North house
Bei Minghai, one of the four generals guarding the northern border today, is born in the Bei family. With the True Immortal General as his backer, the Bei family can be said to have absolute power in Bei'an City. Even those lawless monks who commit crimes dare not cause chaos in Bei'an City.

Bei Long, the head of the Bei family, looked at the family's income this year and couldn't help but frowned and asked, "Why did the income from low-end magic tools drop by a full 10%?"

Don't underestimate this one percent, it represents tens of thousands of spirit stones. The Bei family is very powerful and needs to support a large number of people. The family's expenses have always been tight, and this sudden drop in income will naturally attract Beilong's attention.

Bei Qiwen, the third elder of the Bei family who was in charge of refining weapons, smiled bitterly and said, "Patriarch, it's Princess Xue."

"Snow Concubine Palace?" Beilong frowned.

"That's right. I don't know what's going on with this lady, but the Snow Concubine Palace has suddenly produced a large number of low-level magical weapons containing wind spiritual power. These magical weapons are very powerful, and their main feature is their fast activation speed. They are very popular among low-level cultivators. If they didn't have only the attribute of wind spiritual power, I'm afraid our losses would be even greater." Bei Qi Wen sighed.

"I remember that Concubine Xue offended a big shot in the palace, which is why the king disliked her and ignored her like this." Beilong thought.

"That's true, but the Jiang family's strength should not be underestimated." Bei Qiwen sighed.

In the eyes of the ladies in the harem, the Jiang family is just a small family, but in the eyes of the Bei family, the Jiang family is a behemoth. There are at least multiple true immortals in their family, while the Bei family has only one Bei Minghai. The gap is still huge.

"Send a visiting card and I'll go visit him in person." Beilong also felt that this matter was a bit tricky.

"it is good."

"By the way, please send me some magical instruments from the Snow Concubine Palace so that I can have a look."

"it is good."

The blazing flames rose from the body of the Fire Spirit Rat. The terrifying temperature directly turned the ground beneath its feet into glass. The most peculiar thing was that the Fire Spirit Rat was actually getting smaller and smaller.

You should know that the strongest part of a spiritual beast is its physical body. The stronger it is, the more powerful the magic power in its body will be, and its body will involuntarily grow larger.

The Fire Spirit snorted curiously as he looked at the tiny thing in front of him. The rising flames actually made Sky Fire Horse feel a little scared.

"Slippery"

With a strange sound, the Fire Rat's fifth mutation was completely completed. Its body size only shrank slightly, and its fiery red hair became crystal clear.

The small tuft of particularly bright hair on the forehead looks like a burning flame, emitting a faint golden glow.

The most critical level of cultivation has actually been raised to the realm of great supernatural powers. You should know that this Fire Spirit Rat is not yet an adult. Such aptitude and potential are indeed a bit exaggerated. What's even more exaggerated is that he can actually undergo a sixth mutation.

"Oh my goodness, have I found the peerless genius of the rat clan?" Chen Jiuge looked at the Fire Spirit Rat rolling around in his palm with a look of shock.

"Little guy, you should be able to speak now." Chen Jiuge said, stroking its soft belly with his fingers.

"Father, father." The Fire Spirit Rat stuttered.

"I'm not your father." Chen Jiuge's face was full of black lines. He was not a big rat.

"Father, father." The Fire Spirit Rat said pitifully while holding Chen Jiuge's index finger.

This cute look made Chen Jiuge feel a little soft-hearted for a moment, and he said helplessly: "It's up to you, but since you can speak, you should also have a name."

"Red, small, and female, called Xiaohong?"

"No, that's not enough, let's just call him Wufu."

"My name is Wu Fu. I have a name now!" Wu Fu rolled happily in Chen Jiuge's palm.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk"

A sudden knock on the door interrupted the communication between the man and the beast. The person who came was the female official beside Zhu Ying, whose name seemed to be He Lan.

"Lord He, what's the matter?" Chen Jiuge said, looking at the beautiful female official in front of him.

He Lan covered her mouth and chuckled, "Manager Chen is too polite. We are not officials, so we cannot be called masters."

"This time, we are looking for Steward Chen on the orders of Steward Zhu."

"Butler Zhu?" Chen Jiuge frowned slightly. Zhu Ying was a very broad-minded person, both in terms of strength and mind.

Just like when she built the Jade Rat Farm before, she basically didn't ask about the process. She only looked at the results and was very generous in rewarding.

"Lord He, what happened?" Chen Jiuge planned to bribe the female official.

He Lan looked down at the furry object in his hand, a small fire spirit rat, whose cultivation level was at the Tianyuan realm. For He Lan, who was only at the Fashang realm, this gift was considered acceptable.

The most important thing is that in the Snow Concubine Palace, bribes are rarely received, all thanks to Zhu Ying's management. After quietly putting away the Fire Spirit Rat, He Lan blushed and said, "Manager Chen, I saw someone from the Bei family come to visit the queen early in the morning."

"In addition, the low-level magic tools we made from the horns of the Jade Rat are very popular, and the Bei family is the number one family in Bei'an City. Most of the shops in the city are their business."

Chen Jiuge nodded thoughtfully. This was an encroachment on the Bei family’s business!

Soon, the two arrived at the small door next to the main hall, which was where Zhu Ying worked, also called the Document Pavilion.

Inside the hall, Beilong, who had an elegant face and was wearing a green robe and looked more like a scholar, was looking at Chen Jiuge who had just entered the room.

"This must be the spirit beast master that Officer Zhu mentioned." Beilong said with a smile.

Zhu Ying said calmly, "He is the one who bred the Jade Rat. It's okay to just state Patriarch Bei's request."

Bei Long was not polite and said bluntly: "My dear friend, I am Bei Long, the head of the Bei family. I asked your family's Zhu Xingguan to summon you this time because I have something to ask of you."

Chen Jiuge knew that Beilong's cultivation was far superior to his own, so he did not dare to be arrogant. He saluted and said, "I don't know what you are talking about, but my cultivation is so low that I may not be able to take on such a big responsibility."

"It's okay. Listen to the Bei family's request first. Do it if you can. Don't worry if you can't. You are from my Xuefei Palace." Zhu Ying said lightly.

Beilong's face froze slightly. This was a bit disrespectful. However, although Concubine Xue had fallen out of favor, she was not someone the Bei family could afford to offend, so Beilong did not dare to refute.

"I heard that the Snow Concubine Palace has recently released a batch of low-level magic tools, which are very popular among low-level cultivators. The raw material of these magic tools is the horn of the Jade Rat, and this Jade Rat was cultivated by you, my friend."

“I would like to ask you to provide this kind of spiritual beast to the Bei family.” Beilong said politely.

Chen Jiuge looked up at Zhu Ying, who said indifferently, "My Xuefei Palace is not a shop."

Hearing this, Chen Jiuge felt relieved. Zhu Ying's implication was that the low-level magic weapon made by the Jade Rat's horn was not very important to the Snow Concubine Palace.

"I wonder how much Master Bei needs?" Chen Jiuge asked.

Beilong made a quick calculation in his mind. According to the information sent back by the family's spies, the number of jade rats in Xuefei Palace should be around 10,000. However, Xuefei Palace was not keen on buying and selling. The number of Bei family's caravans and shops was much larger than that of Xuefei Palace.

"One hundred thousand." Beilong said after careful consideration.

This amount is not too much, but it can bring considerable income to the Bei family without causing any trouble.

"One hundred thousand?" Chen Jiuge frowned.

This number is not much for Chen Jiuge. Even if it is one million or ten million, it is just a matter of probability. The key point is that the Jade Rat Farm built by Qizhen Wan can accommodate at most 300,000 Jade Rat.

"My friend, do you have any difficulties?" Beilong frowned.

The Jade Rat is just a variant of the White-Haired Rat. It is a low-level spiritual beast that is not much different from a wild beast, so it shouldn't be difficult to breed.

"To be honest with you, senior, it is not difficult to breed the Jade Rat, but I don't have such a large space to breed it, so it may take a long time, and I also need to breed a rare spiritual beast for the queen." Chen Jiuge said with a lie.

Zhu Ying's face moved. He had just obtained the Yang Po Deer and the Yin Po Deer not long ago. After sending them to the palace, they were said to be very popular with the king, and even his attitude towards the queen had softened a little. He couldn't let such a small matter of the Bei family delay the real big things.

"But it's not good to reject the Bei family directly. The team under Her Majesty is too weak. Although the Bei family is not very strong, Bei Minghai is still good." Zhu Ying calculated quickly in his mind.

"How about this, I'll send people to build some buildings for raising spirit beasts, and also assign a group of people to help you manage them." Zhu Ying said.

"Officer Zhu, how can we let the Snow Concubine Palace spend money on such matters? It just so happens that my second brother has just captured a lot of barbarian slaves outside the Great Wall and seized a lot of tree houses." Beilong said hurriedly.

"Okay, let's do this. Manager Chen, how long will it take to breed 100,000 Jade Rats?" Zhu Ying nodded.

"If there are enough white-haired mice, it will probably take about three years." Chen Jiuge deliberately extended the time.

"Three years. OK, I'll deliver the things tomorrow." Beilong said in surprise.

Next, Zhu Ying and Beilong talked about many important events in the ancient country of Qingming, which made Chen Jiuge gain a lot and understand more about the real world.

After Beilong left, Zhu Ying invited Chen Jiuge to sit down, and the maid next to him replaced the spiritual fruits and spiritual tea.

“The Bei family is not very powerful, but in the past few years a proud child of heaven, Bei Minghai, has emerged. He has achieved true immortality after only a few thousand years of practice. If he had not died young, he would have most likely become a celestial immortal.” Zhu Ying said.

Chen Jiuge understood that this was Zhu Ying explaining Beilong's affairs.

"Her Majesty was banished to Bei'an City after she fell out of favor. I think the main reason is that there are too few people supporting Her Majesty. She does not have a strong enough backing, and there are not enough monks supporting her." Zhu Ying sighed.

"In fact, I knew you were not an ordinary person the first time I saw you. In an era when the ascension channels were almost cut off, those who could reach the real world were almost all people with great abilities."

"I hope you will remember the grace of saving my life and lend a hand when you are in trouble."

Chen Jiuge felt a little uneasy. These words were a bit harsh. I was just a small Shenzang realm, and I couldn't bear such praise from a Pure Yang Master.

Zhu Ying seemed to feel that he had gone too far, and abruptly changed the subject, saying, "Beilong will send a hundred barbarian slaves and ten tree houses tomorrow. These are all yours, and they are also your reward for breeding the Jade Rat for him this time."

"In addition, there will be rewards in the Snow Concubine Palace. Your authority will be upgraded to a first-class steward. Except for the main palace, you can enter and exit other places at will." Zhu Ying said lightly.

Chen Jiuge's heart was moved, and he thanked: "Thank you, Butler Zhu."

"No need to thank me, this is what you deserve. If you have nothing else to do, go and get busy." Zhu Ying waved his hand and sent him away.

After walking a few steps, Chen Jiuge suddenly turned his head and asked, "Why does Patriarch Bei call you Xingguan?"

"An official position is an official position. It can be set up in every queen's palace. There is one fourth-rank official and two fifth-rank officials. If you are outstanding enough, the vacant official position in the palace can also be yours."

After he finished speaking, Zhu Ying waved his hand and drove Chen Jiuge out.

"Official? Interesting." Chen Jiuge thought to himself.

There are also differences in status in the Snow Concubine Palace, with the lowest level being slaves, who are divided into different levels according to their cultivation levels, and then some of the most ordinary maids and attendants, such as Qiwen and Qigao. Although their cultivation levels are very low, they are innocent cultivators from the ancient Qingming country, so their status is naturally higher than that of foreign slaves.

Above them are ordinary guards. These guards, whose cultivation has not reached the great supernatural power realm, have a status only slightly higher than those maids.

Above them are the second-class steward, the first-class steward, the captain of the guard, the queen's personal maid, and so on.

Above the stewards there are chief stewards and guard commanders. These are considered the high-level officials of the Snow Concubine Palace, but they do not have official status.

The chief officer in the Snow Concubine Palace is Zhu Ying. Another officer is the commander-in-chief of the guards. Currently, there is one officer position vacant.

Chen Jiuge's mind flickered: "Maybe I can try to fight for this position of official."

Although he is only an official of the Snow Concubine Palace, it does not mean that he can only be in the Snow Concubine Palace. Officials can change their jobs, and once a fifth-rank official changes his job, he will at least be promoted to the first rank. This is the most desired and fastest way for Chen Jiuge to rise that he can currently access. (End of this chapter)
