Chapter 49 Asking for Credit
Ting Tao Yuan

The window was open, and a bright moon was like a silver plate embedded in the dark night, as if it was peeking at Chu Zhiyuan's handsome face through the window.

Chu Zhiyuan sat cross-legged with the cold jade box placed in front of his knees. The flying dragon ball in the box exuded a dark purple-gold luster.

The Dragon Transformation Technique is running wildly.

As soon as the Flying Dragon Ball approached him, the Dragon Transformation Art seemed to suddenly have its own will. It no longer required him to concentrate on pushing it, but instead ran madly on its own.

It was like a horse went from a leisurely stroll to a gallop, with its speed increased by about five times. It could complete five revolutions in the time it originally took to complete one revolution.

And he doesn't need to expend any energy.

This bizarre thing that he had never imagined happened right before his eyes, and the corners of his mouth kept curling up, unable to suppress it.

When the Dragon Transformation Art is combined with the Flying Dragon Pearl, the speed of progress will be beyond imagination. If combined with the Veins Cleansing Art and the Jade Lock and Golden Gate Art, the power will be further enhanced and the progress will be even faster.

His original plan was to stop practicing the Cleansing Meridians Technique after the duel with Dazhen Cheng Tianfeng, and practice the Dragon Transformation Technique to the required level to avoid shortening his life and harming his body.

With the Flying Dragon Pearl, there is no need to stop practicing the Cleansing Meridians Technique. The level of the Dragon Transformation Technique is enough to suppress the damage caused by the Cleansing Meridians Technique.

He reached out and picked up the Flying Dragon Ball and placed it in front of him.

According to the super sense, the flying dragon ball is filled with mercury.

Silvery, pure, and sparkling, it has a soft, silky, and condensed texture.

He had a hunch: these bright mercury could be extracted by him at any time and integrated into his own true Qi, instantly causing his true Qi to surge and greatly improving his cultivation.

Looking at this bright and heavy true energy, I felt a strong urge to extract it, just like a thirsty person encountering sweet spring water.

He suppressed the impulse.

What's the difference between extracting the true qi from the dragon ball and taking elixirs to increase your cultivation? Both are aimed at cutting off the path to becoming a grandmaster.

He took advantage of the influence of the Dragon Ball on the Dragon Transformation Technique.

More importantly, he already vaguely understood that although the true energy in the dragon ball was easy to obtain, it would have consequences, otherwise the emperor would not have warned him of the bad luck.

Since the emperor said it was unlucky, I'm afraid there's something wrong with the true energy in the dragon ball.

He deduced from the books he read that the true energy in the dragon ball might be tainted with a hint of dragon nature, which would affect the mind.

Xu Wanshan used the Earth Dragon Ball to enhance his cultivation, almost blocking his path to becoming a Grand Master.

Either the Feihua Sword Sect did not know this secret, or they knew it but did not care and did not expect to become a grandmaster. Or maybe it was too late when they knew it and they could only continue to make the same mistake.

He opened his eyes and closed the cold jade box.

The surging energy of the Dragon Transformation Technique came to an abrupt halt.

He let it stop and began to perform the Sword Washing Technique. After condensing the misty purple air, he began to concentrate on operating the Dragon Binding Rope, and then opened the Cold Jade Box again.

As he expected, the Dragon Binding Rope's speed was about five times faster than usual.

The dragon balls have a stimulating effect on the Dragon Subduing Sect's martial arts.

It would have taken at least two cups of tea to gradually gather the deep purple aura and transform it into the purple rope, but now it only took the blink of an eye.

He closed the Cold Jade Box, used the Di Yuan Jue to draw the Qi of the earth to replenish his own true Qi, used the Xi Jian Jue to purify the misty purple Qi into deep purple Qi, then activated the Dragon Binding Rope and opened the Cold Jade Box, which instantly became a Dragon Binding Rope.

Close the Cold Jade Box-》Use the Di Yuan Jue to replenish Qi-》Use the Xi Jian Jue to cleanse Qi-》Use the Dragon Binding Rope-》Open the Cold Jade Box-》Condense into a Dragon Binding Rope.

The nine dragon-binding ropes only took half the time.

……

The morning light is just breaking in the bedroom of Tingtaoyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan slowly opened his eyes, and divine light burst out, illuminating the room.

The seventh floor of the Jade Tower was finally broken through and entered the eighth floor realm!

At this rate, it would probably take about a year to break through the eighth level of the Jade Tower, the ninth level,... break through the eleventh level of the Jade Tower, the twelfth level, break through the twelfth level of the Jade Tower, and achieve innate perfection.

This is already shocking.

But he felt that it was not fast enough, and he always felt insecure if he could not become a master.

Fortunately, this realm is now comparable to Cheng Tianfeng's.

If the Supervisory Office's estimation is correct, Cheng Tianfeng's realm is really the eighth level.

To be on the safe side, we cannot relax and try to advance one level before Cheng Tianfeng arrives in Yujing.

Time is limited.

The remaining time will also be used to hone the Sword Cleansing Technique, the Great Snow Avalanche Sword Technique, and the Close-Area-of-World Steps. Cultivation is important, but the degree of martial arts is equally important.

In the morning light, he came to Mingwu Palace.

After greeting Chu Mingxuan, Chu Zhiting, Chu Zhichuan and others, Chu Qingfeng appeared, glanced at Chu Zhiyuan and said nothing more.

Chu Zhiyuan knew that he could tell from this glance that his aura had increased and his cultivation had advanced to a higher level.

If Chu Qingfeng knew, it would mean that the emperor knew, and he could provide support for his progress at any time, so that he could be more confident in defeating Cheng Tianfeng.

Chu Zhiyao didn't come today.

This made Chu Zhiyuan quite curious.

According to Chu Zhiyao's temperament, he regarded cultivation as more important than anything else. He would come to Mingwu Hall to practice every day, rain or shine, and always on time.

When asked about Chu Mingxuan, Chu Zhiting and Chu Zhichuan, none of them knew. Chu Qingfeng also didn't know.

Chu Zhichuan speculated: "Maybe Fourth Uncle's birthday is coming up, Third Brother is helping to check for omissions and must be very busy."

Chu Mingxuan said, "Fourth brother doesn't really manage things, he's always been a hands-off manager. Now that the third brother is back, of course he's the one who's in charge of all the big and small things in the mansion, it's very troublesome."

No matter how much Chu Zhiyao values ​​cultivation, he cannot ignore Prince Xuan’s birthday and try to ensure that nothing goes wrong at the dinner.

"Tomorrow night is Fourth Brother's birthday," Chu Mingxuan said with a smile, "We can have a good time... Fourth Brother, will you come over?"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Chu Mingxuan showed a strange smile: "Not only us, some people from the Duke's Mansion, Earl's Mansion, and Marquis' Mansion will also go there, it will be very lively."

Chu Zhiyuan asked: "Besides this?"

"Hehe, in addition to the young masters, young uncles and young marquises, there are also the girls from various mansions." Chu Mingxuan raised his eyebrows and smiled strangely: "Many marriages are arranged at this time."

Chu Zhiyuan waved his hands hurriedly: "Uncle Eighteen, I don't have the energy to think about these things right now."

"Yeah, that's right." Chu Mingxuan patted his shoulder comfortingly.

Now Chu Zhiyuan has too heavy a burden on his shoulders, making him feel suffocated, and he really has no time to look at the girl.

"But Fourth Brother, you can't just bury your head in training. You still need to relax and combine work and rest," Chu Mingxuan said, "Go over there tomorrow night to relax."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded in agreement.

……

When he arrived at the Ministry of Rites to report for duty, he saw Gao Lingfeng coming towards him with a smile on his face, clasping his fists and congratulating him.

"Sir, congratulations! I heard that your application for the ninth rank was submitted to the Audit Department yesterday."

"Oh--?"

Gao Lingfeng smiled and said, "The Minister said that we were able to suppress the conflict between Hou Tu Sect and Fei Hua Sword Sect in time and prevent it from spreading. This was all due to your timely decision and foresight, which is a ninth-grade special achievement."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Master Gao, what about you?"

Gao Lingfeng said: "I have also contributed half of the credit, it will be recorded in the merit book."

Two and a half skills can form a ninth-grade skill, which is already gratifying enough.

There are not many opportunities like this.

After Chu Zhiyuan sat down at the desk, he picked up the file and said with a smile, "It's just a coincidence. I'm lucky enough."

Gao Lingfeng shook his head sternly: "This is not luck. If it were my subordinates, not only would they not be able to achieve any merit, but they would be punished instead."

Lord Yuanwailang was of course treated with special favor because of his status as the Crown Prince, and was given the opportunity to preside over the groundbreaking ceremony of the Feihua Sword sect's branch.

But if I were a Yuanwailang, I would keep my distance from the Feihua Sword Sect, not say a word and not meddle in other people's business.

However, since he was unable to mediate the conflict between the Feihua Sword Sect and the Houtu Sect, it might not be wise for him to report it directly and he would definitely hesitate.

If this matter is delayed, once the Feihua Sword Sect and the Houtu Sect come into further conflict, or even lose lives, it will be difficult to suppress it.

Therefore, it is not too much to ask for the ninth-rank merit for Yuanwailang.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "I don't know when I can pass this ninth level skill."

Dazhen's delegation is arriving soon, and it would be a pity to pass through after the delegation arrives.

I have been replacing the Small Marrow Cleansing Pills for the Ninth Grade Skill to speed up the meridian training of the first level of the Dragon Transformation Technique. Now I realize that I shouldn't have replaced the Small Marrow Cleansing Pills, but the Dragon Blood Stones, which would have a better effect.
